Benefits

- Reduced Permeability
Polypropylene fibres begin to work immediately within the concrete mix as it is being placed. The addition of Conplus construction fibres will increase the intrinsic early strength of the concrete and significantly reduce the formation of early plastic shrinkage cracks. Steelmesh on the other hand only has any effect after the concrete has already cracked.
