DESCRIPTION

KKS® FIBER PP-48ME is high quality polypropylene in large structure of fibers (Macro), its designed specification to minimize and control shrinkage cracks in Fiber-Reinforced Concrete and Shotcrete.

KKS® FIBER PP-48ME is in compliance with the requirements of ASTM C1116-91.

ADVANTAGES

KKS® FIBER PP-48ME is uniformly distributed to provide an internal reinforcement to:

• Increased resistance to cracking
• Increased durability of concrete
• Increased waterproofing ability
• Increase the cohesion of fresh concrete
• Improve impact and abrasion resistance
• Improve the deformation ability
• Improve tensile and bending strength.

USES

KKS® FIBER PP-48ME fibers reinforce fresh concrete and reduce its shrinkage cracking. KKS® FIBER PP-48ME is used for:

• Slabs
• Pavements
• Precast concrete products
• Heavy-duty industrial floors
• Overlays
• Shotcrete.

Polypropylene fibers are not intended to replace structural steel.

INSTRUCTION FOR USE

APPLICATION

Simply add KKS® FIBER PP-48ME to the concrete mixer at a rate of 2-3kg per cubic meter. A mixing time of 3 to 5 minutes is necessary to ensure the dissolution and therefore a uniform fiber dispersion. For better dispensation, KKS® FIBER PP-48ME should be mixed into batching after concrete aggregate crushing together with mechanism.

KKS® FIBER PP-48ME is compatible with all KKS admixtures.

The standard procedures for placing, finishing and curing concrete shall be followed. In addition, proper reinforcement and joint spacing should be observed.
