Technical Bulletin – Fiber Mix

High-Strength Polypropylene Fibers for Concrete and Colored Mortar

🔹 Product Description:

Fiber Mix is ​​a high-quality, single-filament polypropylene fiber used to strengthen concrete and mortar and prevent cracking caused by plastic or thermal shrinkage.

The fibers improve internal cohesion and increase impact and flexural strength, giving concrete durability and long-lasting performance.

The fibers are rust-resistant, chemically stable, and uniformly distributed within the concrete mix.
