Micro Synthetic Fibers for Concrete

Compare Fiber Types by Performance, Material and Application

Micro synthetic fibers are fine polymer fibers used in concrete and mortar for functions such as plastic shrinkage crack control, cohesion, dispersion and other product-specific performance requirements. Compare monofilament, fibrillated, ultra-fine, self-dispersing and specialty micro fibers below, then review the relevant product page for dosage, specifications and technical documents.

How Micro Fiber Types Differ

Micro fibers are not interchangeable. Material, diameter, length, geometry, fiber count and dispersion behavior can influence crack-control performance, workability, finish and application suitability.

PIONEER offers different micro fiber technologies to match these requirements.

Compare Micro Fiber Types

Use this page to identify the most relevant fiber family. For exact dimensions, dosage, mixing instructions, packaging, safety information, and test evidence, continue to the individual product page.

Choose the fiber type according to the required function rather than by material name alone. The comparison below highlights the main differences between monofilament, fibrillated, ultra-fine, self-dispersing, and specialized micro fibers.

How to Choose the Right Micro Fiber

Start with the performance objective, then narrow the choice by fiber material, structure, and application. Use the comparison table below to identify the most relevant product family, then review the individual product page for dosage, specifications, TDS, SDS, and test documentation.

1. Define the Need
Plastic shrinkage control, dispersion, GFRC reinforcement, fire-related performance, or another specific requirement.

2. Match the Fiber Type
Choose between monofilament, fibrillated, ultra-fine, self-dispersing, polyester, or alkali-resistant glass fiber.

3. Confirm the Product
Check the application, dosage, technical specifications, and available test evidence on the product page.

FAQ

  • Micro synthetic fibers are mainly used for early-age crack control, cohesion, dispersion and other product-specific functions. Their exact role depends on fiber type, dosage and application.

  • Monofilament fibers are individual fine strands, while fibrillated fibers open into a network-like structure during mixing. Their geometry affects distribution, workability and application suitability.

  • Start with the required function and application, then compare material, geometry, dispersion, dosage and available technical data before selecting the product.

  • Generally, no. Micro and macro fibers serve different performance roles. Macro fibers should be evaluated where toughness and post-crack residual performance are required.

  • No. Suitability depends on fiber material, geometry, dosage, concrete system, mixing process, finish requirements and the required performance.
