SikaFiber® PPF-300
Fibrillated Polypropylene Concrete Fiber

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION USES


SikaFiber® PPF-300 is a fibrillated polypropylene fiber for SikaFiber® PPF-300 acts mechanically by reinforcing the
use in fiber reinforced concrete. SikaFiber® PPF-300 is concrete with multidimensional fiber network coated
primarily used for the purpose of providing with mortar. SikaFiber® PPF-300 can be used in all types
secondary/temperature shrinkage reinforcement in of concrete.
concrete. The fibrillated pattern of SikaFiber® PPF-300
optimizes the mechanical bond between the mortar Typical applications include: Residential and commercial
matrix and fiber networks providing better control of slab-on-grade, decks, precast elements, etc. The
plastic shrinkage cracking and plastic settlement SikaFiber® PPF-300 can decrease plastic and drying
cracking. SikaFiber® PPF-300 provides a good alternative shrinkage cracking and increase impact resistance in
to welded wire fabric in light commercial and residential concrete. In case concrete is exposed to fire, the
slab-on-grade applications. SikaFiber® PPF-300 meets presence of SikaFiber® PPF-300 in concrete reduces the
the requirements of ASTM C-1116, Type III fiber. Fibers explosive spalling.
should be added to the concrete mix at a rate of 1.5
lbs/cu.yd. SikaFiber® PPF-300 can be used in shotcrete to reduce
rebound and allow higher thickness in one pass.
SikaFiber® PPF-300 does not affect the concrete curing
process and does not absorb mix water.

CHARACTERISTICS / ADVANTAGES
▪ Provides temperature-shrinkage reinforcement.
▪ Reduces plastic shrinkage and plastic settlement
cracking.
▪ Provides multi-dimensional reinforcement.
▪ Improves impact, shatter and abrasion resistance of
concrete.
▪ Enhances durability and toughness of concrete.
▪ Reduces bleeding.
▪ Excellent finishability.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Recommended Dosage Typical standard dosage rate of SikaFiber® PPF-300 in concrete is 1.5 lb/cu.yd
or as required by specific mix design.
Mixing SikaFiber® PPF-300 is packaged in degradable bags which readily break up
during the mixing of concrete. SikaFiber® PPF-300 can be added directly to
the concrete mixing system during or after the batching of the ingredients
and mixed at high speed for four to five minutes. Additional mixing does not
adversely affect the distribution or overall performance of SikaFiber® PPF-
300. The addition of SikaFiber® PPF-300 at the recommended dosage rates to
a given mix may decrease the workability, which should be adjusted by use of
an appropriate water reducing admixture. The addition of SikaFiber® PPF-300
at the normal recommended dosage rate does not require any mix design or
application changes.
