Floor Screed Reinforcement Fibres

Polypropylene fibres are added and evenly dispersed in a screed mix.

Floor screed reinforcement fibres. Containing polypropylene fibres to minimise shrinkage cracking. Fibre reinforced floor screed. Add approx 1 handful of fibres to each mix made in the cement mixer. It consists of fiberglass basalt steel polypropylene fibers.

In a standard sized cement mixer 90 litre capacity 1 3 of the cement bag is used to create a standard concrete screed mix at one time therefore 1 3 of the fibre bag contents are added to each mix. Concrete and screed fibres 900g bags. The fibers are introduced into the concrete solution and when it hardens they form a solid monolith. Fibre screed also called pp fibre or reinforced screeding is excellent in any situation.

The fibres serve to deter the micro cracking during the initial curing period. This practise of combining products to the basic components of screed is called admixtures. They are an alternative method of secondary reinforcement to traditional systems. These fibres are manufactured from polypropylene and will not cause irritation.

Traditional floor screed which contains polypropylene fibres to minimise shrinkage cracking. Polypropylene fibres referred to as pp fibres are combined with the sand and cement screed and they are thoroughly dispersed during the mixing process. These screed fibres are an easy to use 100 virgin polypropylene micro reinforcement system for concrete. In combination with any mesh reinforcing fiber will create a very strong tie.

The use of fibres inhibits shrinkage settlement cracking increases strength permeability and is more impact resistant. Polypropylene fibres are one of the most commonly used materials for screed reinforcement. These are especially preferred for reinforcing unbonded screeds floating screeds and screeds laid over underfloor heating. For larger projects for every cubic metre of concrete or screed a full bag of 900g tdp fibres is sufficient.
