Fresh and early-age concrete
High fiber count distributes through paste and mortar to help control plastic shrinkage and settlement cracking.
Fiber Family
Synthetic Fibers for Concrete
Micro and macro polymer fibers address different concrete behaviors. UCGP coordinates polypropylene, polyolefin, PVA and nylon options against the application and performance requirement.
Synthetic portfolio
Micro crack control and macro post-crack performance
Material, filament form and dimensions determine whether a synthetic fiber is considered for early-age crack control, hardened-concrete toughness or a specialized cementitious system.

Do not treat every polymer fiber as equivalent
Hardened concrete
Larger engineered fibers bridge cracks and are selected using toughness or residual-performance criteria.
Material-specific systems
Polymer chemistry, bond, modulus, dimensions and dispersion shape suitability for specialty cementitious applications.
Batching and trials
Confirm dispersion, workability and finish
01
Identify fiber form
Monofilament, fibrillated, macro, blend, PVA or nylon.
02
Review mix
Aggregate grading, paste volume, admixtures and consistency.
03
Trial batching
Verify addition point, mixing time, dispersion, pumping and finish.
04
Confirm performance
Use project-relevant fresh- or hardened-concrete tests.
Synthetic-fiber comparison
Fiber form signals the intended role
Monofilament micro PPIndividual fine filaments for plastic-shrinkage, settlement and other specified early-age objectives.
Fibrillated micro PPNetwork-form fibers that open during mixing; selection considers dispersion, finish and the specified crack-control role.
Macro PP / polyolefinEngineered larger fibers assessed through hardened-concrete residual or toughness requirements.
Macro + micro syntheticCombines distinct all-synthetic early-age and hardened-state roles; it is not a steel-and-PP hybrid.
PVA / nylonMaterial chemistry, modulus, bond, dimensions and cementitious matrix determine suitability.
DosageChosen from the selected product, mix, process and required test outcome; exact dosage is confirmed per quotation and trial.
