The Properties of Concrete Enhanced using Different Fibers and Polymers

Kanahya Jee, Kapil Bhutani, Arun Bhardwaj

Abstract


Precision cut Polyester fiber is a strong and durable man-made fiber that is widely used in many industries. Polyester is resistant to corrosion and shrinkage and perhaps the most important in industrial applications is resistant to corrosion damage. Polyester has a very high gravitational force, resulting in good water dispersion and a high melting point making it a good choice around a variety of applications.
