Polypropylene Synthetic Microfiber
TenaBrix® Polypropylene synthetic microfiber is a high-strength fiber made of 100% virgin polypropylene as the raw material. The fibers are extremely fine, single filaments, specifically designed to help mitigate the formation of plastic shrinkage cracking in concrete. TenaBrix® polypropylene synthetic microfiber also known as polypropylene monofilament (mono) fiber, PP fiber, anti-cracking fiber, and concrete reinforcement fiber.
