Fire-Resistant Fiber for Concrete and Tunnel Applications | PIONEER®

High-Performance Anti-Spalling Polypropylene Fiber for Concrete

Deploy advanced structural fire protection for tunnels, high-rise buildings, underground facilities, and critical infrastructure. PIONEER® HPM® FR fibers minimize explosive spalling, improve evacuation safety, and enhance concrete durability under extreme heat events.

What is PIONEER® HPM® FR Fire-Resistant Fiber?

PIONEER® HPM® FR is a high-performance fire-resistant polypropylene fiber engineered to prevent explosive spalling when concrete is exposed to fire. As temperatures rise, the hollow fibers melt and create micro-channels that relieve trapped vapor pressure. This reduces the risk of sudden concrete failure and increases structural fire endurance.

Ideal for:

  • Tunnels & underground structures

  • High-rise evacuation routes

  • Subway systems

  • Fire-rated structural concrete

  • HPC & UHPC exposed to fire loads

Fire-resistant fiber solves one problem.
What about cracks before and after hardening?

International Standards Compliance

PIONEER® HPM® FR fibers meet global specifications for synthetic fibers used in concrete:

  • ASTM C1116 – Standard Specification for Fiber-Reinforced Concrete

  • EN 14889-2 – Synthetic Fibres for Concrete

Key Benefits of Fire-Resistant Polypropylene Fiber

Strengthen the fire performance and durability of concrete:

  • Prevents explosive spalling by forming vapor-release channels

  • Delays structural failure, supporting safer evacuation

  • Improves fire endurance in tunnels & critical infrastructure

  • Reduces early-age shrinkage cracking

  • Mix-friendly, no redesign required

  • Cost-effective fire protection for HPC/UHPC

Where to Use Fire-Resistant Concrete Fibers

HPM® FR is ideal for concrete structures requiring high fire resilience:

  • Subway tunnels / metro systems

  • Underground parking structures

  • High-rise buildings (columns, slabs, escape routes)

  • Airport & hospital infrastructure

  • Precast tunnel segments

  • HPC/UHPC fire-rated panels
