Verstaerkung Fiber, polypropylene fiber

Our best fiber for screeds

Verstaerkung Fiber is a 100% virgin polypropylene fibrillated fiber with excellent dispersion in the cement mix, without the formation of lumps. It is our best fibre for screeds, in fact, thanks to its high fibre number/cm³ it is ideal for preventing the formation of cracks and improving flexural strength, even as low as 600 g/m³.

Characteristics
Verstaerkung Fiber is a 100% virgin polypropylene fibrillated fiber with excellent dispersion in the cement mix, without lump formation. It is our best fiber for screeds, in fact, due to its high fiber count/cm³ it is ideal for preventing crack formation and improving flexural strength, even as low as 600 g/m³.

We have customers throughout Europe who have been using Verstaerkung Fiber polypropylene fiber for more than 30 years now, and it remains our most popular product for screeds, even in the case of heated slabs.

Verstaerkung Fiber is also used successfully as anti-cracking in industrial flooring or in prefabrication in addition to metal reinforcement in lengths up to 50 mm.

In shorter lengths it also finds good use in mortars and plasters, as well as in many other fields.

For other technical data as well as the various fields of application of Verstaerkung Fiber, we refer you to the data sheet.

Verstaerkung Fiber is produced with high quality raw materials, controlling the production at every stage to provide a qualitatively consistent product. Fiber for screeds, unlike traditional fibers on the European market, with our concrete surface finishing operations are easier because the fibers do not obstruct the passage of tools. Precisely because Verstaerkung Fiber is a polypropylene fiber it is highly demonstrable in the mix due to the material's high resistance to alkalis and acids. It has been tested at state-recognized laboratories.
CE Labelling
It has a CE label according to EN 14889-2.
Dimensions
Verstaerkung Fiber is available in standard lengths of 6, 12, 19 mm, depending on particle size and application, and in different packaging types, from 100 g up to 18 kg.

It is also available in pre-dosed PVA bags, which are completely water-soluble (VFAIT), resulting in considerable savings in disposal time and costs.
Recommended dosage 
600 g to 1 kg/m³, depending on application.

Warnings

Verstaerkung Fiber can be used as a secondary reinforcement for crack control, as a partial or complete alternative to wire mesh. In addition to crack reduction, this polypropylene fiber also guarantees an increase in impact and abrasion resistance and a reduction in processing time.

Caution: The use of fibrillated polypropylene fibers cannot, however, be considered as an alternative to primary structural reinforcement. The use of Verstaerkung Fiber for screeds does not exclude the utmost care in the production of concrete, which must consider the normal precautions for good execution (good quality of materials, appropriate aggregate curve, low w/c ratio, use of fluidifying agents, adequate preparation of the substrate, etc.) and compliance with standards and prescriptions.
