ISO 9001 Certified · OEM / Customization · Global Export · Bulk Supply

1. Factory & Production Lines

Our PP monofilament fiber production base operates multiple fully automated extrusion lines dedicated exclusively to concrete-grade polypropylene fiber. Each line integrates melt extrusion, quenching, drawing, surface treatment, and cutting into a continuous process — ensuring consistent diameter, uniform tensile strength, and low defect rates at industrial scale.

• Automated Extrusion Lines — Multi-line setup with precision screw extruders and closed-loop temperature control.
• On-Line Gauging — Real-time diameter and tension monitoring, with automatic rejection of off-spec segments.
• Dedicated Workshops — Separate zones for raw material storage, production, QC testing, and finished goods warehousing.

2. Raw Materials

The performance of PP fiber in concrete begins with the resin. We use virgin isotactic polypropylene homopolymer sourced from qualified petrochemical partners, selected for its high melt flow stability, consistent molecular weight distribution, and resistance to alkali environments. No recycled or regrind material enters the production line.

• Base resin: Virgin PP homopolymer, industrial grade with low volatile content.
• Masterbatch additives: UV stabilizers, processing aids, and color concentrates — all pre-qualified and dosed via gravimetric feeders.
• Surface modifier: Proprietary hydrophilic coating applied during the finishing stage to improve dispersion in wet concrete.
• Supplier qualification: Each resin batch is accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis (CoA) and verified against our incoming material specification before release to production.

3. Manufacturing Process

PP monofilament fiber for concrete is produced through a controlled melt-spinning and drawing process. The key to reliable crack-control performance lies in consistent fiber geometry, tensile properties, and surface characteristics — each tightly managed at every step.

Step-by-step production flow:

1. Raw material drying & blending — PP resin and functional masterbatches are dried to remove moisture and proportionally blended by automated gravimetric systems.
2. Melt extrusion — The blend is fed into single-screw extruders, melted at controlled temperature profiles, and extruded through multi-hole spinnerets into fine filaments.
3. Quenching — Extruded filaments are immediately cooled in a water bath to solidify the molecular structure and lock in initial diameter.
4. Hot drawing — Filaments are drawn through heated ovens at controlled draw ratios to orient polymer chains and achieve target tensile strength and modulus.
5. Surface treatment — A hydrophilic coating is applied to improve wettability and dispersion in cementitious mixes.
6. Cutting — Continuous filament bundles are fed into precision cutters and chopped to the specified length with tight length tolerance.
7. Sieving & dedusting — Cut fibers pass through vibrating sieves to remove clumps, fines, and foreign particles.
8. Packaging & palletizing — Finished fibers are weighed, bagged, and palletized — ready for storage or shipment.

4. Quality Control

Quality is enforced at every stage — not just at the end of the line. Our QC laboratory runs routine tests on incoming materials, in-process samples, and finished goods to ensure each batch meets published specifications and project-specific requirements.

1. Incoming material inspection: Melt flow index (MFI), moisture content, ash content, and visual inspection of every resin batch.
2. In-process monitoring: Real-time diameter measurement, line tension, draw ratio, and coating weight verification on each production line.
3. Laboratory testing (finished goods): Fiber length distribution, diameter, tensile strength, elongation at break, and dispersion test in standard mortar mix.
4. Application performance test: Flexural toughness and plastic shrinkage crack reduction tests conducted on reference concrete mixes.
5. Batch traceability: Every production lot is assigned a unique batch number, with full records of raw material lot, production parameters, QC results, and shipping destination.
6. Certification: ISO 9001 quality management system, with CoA issued for each shipment upon request.

5. Fiber Specifications

Our PP monofilament fiber portfolio covers the most commonly specified lengths and performance grades for concrete applications. Custom diameters, tensile strengths, colors, and lengths are available for OEM and project-specific orders.

Standard performance grade range:

• Tensile strength: 350 – 600+ MPa (depending on grade and draw ratio)
• Elongation at break: 15 – 30% typical
• Melting point: ~160 – 170 °C
• Alkali resistance: Excellent in high-pH cementitious environments
• Acid resistance: Good resistance to most inorganic acids
• Specific gravity: ~0.91 g/cm³

6. Bulk Orders & Production Capacity

For large projects requiring staged delivery, we offer scheduled production and phased shipment plans aligned with site construction progress.

7. OEM & Customization

We work with distributors, concrete admixture companies, and construction material brands around the world to deliver private-label and custom-formulated PP fiber products that match their market positioning and technical requirements.

• Custom Color — Natural, white, black, or custom-colored fibers using qualified color masterbatch.
• Custom Length & Diameter — Tailored fiber geometry for specific mix designs and application methods.
• Performance Grading — Different tensile strength / modulus grades for standard, mid-range, and high-performance projects.
• Private Label & Packaging — Your brand on bags, cartons, and pallets — with custom artwork and multilingual labels.

Our engineering team supports custom formulation development from prototype sampling through production qualification, including small-batch trial samples for field testing and mix design validation.

8. Packaging

Packaging is designed to protect fiber quality during storage, handling, and long-distance transportation while adapting to different regional handling practices and customer preferences.

• Inner bags: Laminated PP woven bags or kraft paper bags with PE liner — moisture-resistant and dust-tight.

10. Technical Support

Supplying the fiber is only the first step. Our technical team works with contractors, ready-mix producers, and engineers to ensure that PP fibers are dosed, mixed, and placed correctly — so the finished concrete performs as designed.

• Dosage & mix design consultation: Recommendation of fiber type, length, and dosage rate based on application, mix design, and performance targets.
• On-site / remote technical guidance: Guidance on mixing sequence, addition method, and quality control on the jobsite.
• Sample testing support: Lab data sheets and test reference protocols for flexural strength, shrinkage cracking, and impact resistance evaluation.
• Project-specific documentation: Technical data sheets (TDS), safety data sheets (SDS), and product certification packages for submittals.
• After-sales follow-up: Batch traceability and technical response for any field performance question or claim.

For large or technically demanding projects, we can provide joint technical meetings with the engineer of record to align on specification language, test methods, and acceptance criteria.
