Benefits of using “Plast Fibre” in Industrial Floorings  
 
  • Inhibits plastic shrinkage cracks, settlement cracks and micro cracks that occur in the concrete matrix.
  • Provides abrasion resistance – Polypropylene Fibres ensure that the flooring will not have to be re-done for many years thereby saving high repairs and maintenance costs.
  • Provides impact resistance – Impact on the Industrial floor is high due to heavy vibration of the installed machinery. Polypropylene fibres provide impact resistance and help increase overall life of the structure.
  • Reduces water leakage and seepage substantially in the industrial flooring, which ensures the quality of final product is maintained.
  • Distributes localized stresses and increases fatigue resistance.
  • Increases overall durability and anti-crack strength.
  • Reduces bleeding problems and ensures uniform hydration.
  • Highly effective in tremix flooring and vacuum dewatering.
  • Improve Fire resistance characteristics in concrete thereby reducing risk of spalling in concrete structures.
  • Increase Tensile and Flexural strength.
  
     
   
 

A) Saves on the following costly repairs of surface visible cracks

  • Visible cracks need to be sealed to prevent future problems
  • This involves opening cracks into a V groove, filling them with expensive crack filling sealants and fillers
  • May involve an additional cost of scaffolding, where necessary
  • Still no guarantee as it involves only visible cracks
 
 

B) Reduces water Percolation / Permeability

  • Plast Fibre prevents seepage and leakage of water. This helps reduce the cost of using expensive waterproofing chemicals substantially
  
 

C) Decreases Wastage and usage of Extra Material

  • Plast Fibre act like minute rollers to physically assist the movement of concrete / mortar thus reducing rebound Loss for Guniting / Shotcreting applications
  • Saves cement consumption in plastering & masonry mortars
  • Replaces “Non-Structural Steel” in roads and “ Chicken Mesh” in buildings thereby reducing their huge costs
  
 

D) Saves Considerable Repair and Maintenance Costs

  • Saves Repair and restoration Costs and it extends corrosion-free life to structural steel reinforcement thereby increasing shelf life of the structure
