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

High-Performance Anti-Spalling Polypropylene Fiber for Concrete

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

Looking for Cost-Effective High-Performance Concrete Reinforcement?

High-performance fibers such as PVA fiber, basalt fiber, carbon fiber, and aramid fiber are widely used in high-performance concrete (HPC) and UHPC.

They deliver excellent strength and toughness—but in real projects, their high cost limits large-scale application, making them suitable mainly for specialized or high-end use.
