POLYPROPYLENE FIBER
POLYPROPYLENE FIBER
Polypropylene fiber is a type of material used in underground mining and tunnels to reinforce support and improve the stability of excavations. Polypropylene fiber is composed of synthetic polymers, such as polypropylene or polyethylene, and is presented in the form of long, thin fibers.
Polypropylene fiber is used as additional reinforcement in combination with other materials, such as concrete, shotcrete, and anchor bolts, to improve the strength and durability of underground structures and excavations.
