Polypropylene as the main raw material, polypropylene fiber (mesh) is a grid-structured fiber formed by the cross-linking of single fibers. Our polypropylene fiber (mesh) is non-toxic and acid/alkali resistant. It has anti-magnetic and anti-rust ability and has good chemical stability. Besides, our product has strong adhesion to cement and can be easily applied without special requirements.
This product is mainly used in various concretes, such as high-grade concrete pavement, protective fence, bridge deck, factory floor, the main structure of bridge and sidewalk, concrete face dams, spillway, diversion hole, and other parts in the water conservancy and hydropower project, airport runways, apron pavement, tunnels, mines, and subway, etc., as well as other sprayed concrete for walls and roofs.

The addition of our product can significantly improve the bonding performance of mortars and concretes, thereby effectively preventing primary cracks and deterioration in mortar and concrete. Besides, our product can ensure even exudation, thereby preventing the separation of pipe materials and the formation of cracks.
Our products can also improve the frost-resistance of concretes. The addition of our product can help reduce the formation and expansion of cracks caused by temperature changes.
PP fiber mesh is widely used in the construction of highway pavements. The fibers improve the overall integrity of the concrete, reducing the likelihood of surface cracking caused by heavy vehicular traffic, expansion, or thermal movement. This is particularly important in regions with extreme weather conditions.

Polypropylene mesh is a versatile and durable material made from polypropylene, a type of thermoplastic polymer. It consists of a network of fibers that are typically woven or molded into a mesh form. In construction, it is primarily used as reinforcement for concrete, providing added strength and crack resistance. Polypropylene mesh is also known for its lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and non-reactive properties, making it suitable for various applications in building and infrastructure projects.
The lifespan of polypropylene mesh largely depends on the environmental conditions and the specific application. Under typical conditions, polypropylene fiber mesh can last for decades, especially when used in concrete reinforcement. Its resistance to moisture, chemicals, and UV degradation ensures that it maintains its effectiveness over time. However, in areas with extreme exposure to UV light or harsh chemicals, the lifespan may be slightly shorter, so protective coatings or usage within concrete can extend its durability.
Yes, polypropylene fiber is considered safe for a wide range of applications, including construction. It is non-toxic, and since it is chemically inert, it does not react with most substances, making it safe to use in environments where chemical stability is crucial. Polypropylene mesh does not release harmful substances into the environment, even in the presence of high temperatures or moisture. However, like any material, it’s essential to follow safety guidelines during installation, particularly in terms of handling and wearing protective gear.
