Strong Fiber’s fibrillated structure and contained dimensions ensure ease of distribution when added to any concrete mixture. It can be added by hand, with conveyor belts or special dispensers. The homogeneity of distribution ensures a multi-purpose and capillary reinforcement

Strong Fiber’s® uniform distribution and homogeneity in the mixture prevents the dangerous phenomenon of “aggregate segregation” with consequent surfacing of aqueous matrix in surfaces (bleeding), causing an overall weakening of the concrete.

Strong Fiber® reduces cracks due to the plastic and hygrometric shrinkage of the concrete during the delicate drying phase of the compound. The polypropylene fibers intercept the shrinkage cracks in their microscopic phase, stopping their propagation and development.

Concrete with the Strong Fiber® addative, acquires greater resistance to bending, vibration and traction. This is due to the kinetic absorption power of the propylene fibers which can continue to shrink, pull and/or stretch even after the concrete has dried and set.

In the event of a fire, the increase in internal concrete pressure due to overheating of the water that cannot evaporate, can result in the phenomenon of “spalling”, the violent explosion of concrete. The presence of polypropylene fibers delays and reduces this dangerous phenomenon, because, once the melting temperature is reached, they dissolve creating a structure of capillary channels that discharge steam and interstitial heat, thus avoiding the violent explosion of the concrete.

The plastic characteristics of Strong Fiber® microfibers, increases the durability of concrete mixtures, increasing its toughness index resulting in a product that is more resistant to blows and superficial abrasions.

Polypropylene fibers are resistant to acids, alkaline agents, molds and microorganisms. Concrete with Strong FIber® addative is more resistant to corrosion and has greater resistance to environmental and chemical aggressions.

The reduced permeability, crack potential, and the chemical-physical characteristics of the stabilized fibers of Strong Fiber®, make concretes and such, more resistant to freeze-thaw cycles, UV rays and high summer ambient temperatures. This results in the elimination of premature aging and an overall better aesthetic appearance over time.
