Circular Recycled Polypropylene (PP)
Polypropylene (PP) is a good plastic to use in heavy-duty concrete to help the mix settle around the rebar. It is a strong and durable material that is resistant to chemicals and abrasion. PP is also relatively lightweight, which makes it easy to transport and place in concrete mixes.
In addition, PP fibers can help to improve the workability and flowability of concrete mixes. This can make it easier to pour and place the concrete, and it can also help to reduce the amount of air voids in the concrete.
PP fibers can also help to improve the strength and toughness of concrete. This is because the fibers help to distribute stress more evenly throughout the concrete matrix. This can make the concrete more resistant to cracking and other forms of damage.

Benefits of polypropylene fibers in heavy-duty concrete:
Reduce cracking: Polypropylene fibers can help to reduce cracking in concrete by bridging micro-cracks and preventing them from propagating. This is particularly important in heavy-duty concrete applications, where the concrete is subjected to high levels of stress.
Improve impact resistance: Polypropylene fibers can also help to improve the impact resistance of concrete. This is because the fibers can absorb and dissipate energy, which can help to prevent the concrete from cracking or spalling under impact.
Increase durability: Polypropylene fibers can also help to increase the durability of concrete by reducing its permeability to water and other liquids. This can help to protect the concrete from freeze-thaw damage and other forms of deterioration.
Dosage of polypropylene fibers in heavy-duty concrete:
The dosage of polypropylene fibers in heavy-duty concrete typically ranges from 0.5 to 1.5 kg/m3. The exact dosage will depend on the specific application and the desired properties of the concrete.
Conclusion:
Polypropylene fibers are a good choice for use in heavy-duty concrete applications. They can help to reduce cracking, improve impact resistance, and increase durability.
