Typical evaluation scope
Non-structural crack control in concrete and mortar.
Synthetic fiber for concrete and mortar
Polypropylene (PP) Fiber
Polypropylene fiber is used in selected concrete and mortar systems to support crack-control and reinforcement strategies. Fiber length, diameter, tensile properties and dosage must be matched to the application and current product specification.

Product role
Where this product fits
Polypropylene fiber is used in concrete and mortar to support non-structural plastic-stage crack-control evaluation. Catalogue applications include pavements, bridge decks, tunnels, repair mortar, roofs, walls, basements and pools.
Important: confirm the current grade and evaluate performance in project materials before commercial use.

Inquiry checklist
What to send with your request
01 · Application
Concrete or mortar and the non-structural crack-control objective.
02 · Target
Required grade and performance objective.
03 · Quantity
Sample, trial or estimated order volume.
04 · Destination
Country, port and packaging needs.
Buyer-oriented technical selection
Polypropylene microfiber selection
Factors that change performance
Fiber length, diameter, form, dosage, dispersion and target application.
Recommended verification
Add to achieve uniform dispersion; polypropylene microfibers do not replace structural reinforcement unless specifically designed and verified.
Documents and evidence
Ask for the current grade specification and batch documentation. Review available company certificates, test evidence and supplier batch-report scope separately.
Grade-specific buying brief
Distinguish the listed short fiber from structural macrofiber
The listed 3–6 mm length should be considered with the actual fiber form, diameter and mechanical-property specification. The Concrete Society distinguishes short polypropylene microfibers from larger synthetic macrofibers. Do not infer a structural reinforcement replacement, residual-strength rating or fire-performance classification from this catalogue length alone.
For a useful inquiry, identify whether the objective is plastic-stage crack control in mortar or concrete, and describe the existing mixing and placement process. Ask the technical team to define the dispersion, fresh-property and application checks. Any structural or fire-related use needs grade-specific evidence and project approval, separate from the non-structural product selection discussed here.
