Floor Screed Reinforcement Fibres

The fibres serve to deter the micro cracking during the initial curing period.

Floor screed reinforcement fibres.

This practise of combining products to the basic components of screed is called admixtures. This helps minimise shrinkage cracking. These fibres are manufactured from polypropylene and will not cause irritation. Used in applications at a minimum of 0 1 by volume they are supplied in measured bags for accurate dosing.

In combination with any mesh reinforcing fiber will create a very strong tie. The fibers are introduced into the concrete solution and when it hardens they form a solid monolith. These are especially preferred for reinforcing unbonded screeds floating screeds and screeds laid over underfloor heating. The use of fibres inhibits shrinkage settlement cracking increases strength permeability and is more impact resistant.

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. Fibre screed also called pp fibre or reinforced screeding is excellent in any situation. The fiber reinforced screed will protect the flooring from small cracks in the form of cobwebs.

They are an alternative method of secondary reinforcement to traditional systems. Polypropylene fibres are one of the most commonly used materials for screed reinforcement. It consists of fiberglass basalt steel polypropylene fibers. For larger projects for every cubic metre of concrete or screed a full bag of 900g tdp fibres is sufficient.

Polypropylene fibres are added and evenly dispersed in a screed mix. 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. These screed fibres are an easy to use 100 virgin polypropylene micro reinforcement system for concrete. Containing polypropylene fibres to minimise shrinkage cracking.
