Dry-mix mortars require stable quality and clean dispersion. Traditional polypropylene fibers often form clumps, create fiber balls, and cause inconsistent crack control—especially in thin-layer materials like plasters, putty powders, and coatings.

Self-dispersing polypropylene fibers solve these issues with instant dispersion, no clumping, and uniform distribution throughout dry-mix products. This new fiber technology is quickly becoming essential for modern mortar manufacturers.

What Are Self-Dispersing Polypropylene Fibers?

Self-dispersing PP fibers are micro monofilament fibers treated with anti-static and high-dispersion technology.

They spread evenly through dry powders and form a stable 3D reinforcement network.

They work especially well in:

• Plasters & renders

• Dry-mix mortars

• Tile adhesives

• Self-leveling products

• EIFS base coats

• Repair mortars

Key Benefits for Dry-Mix Producers

1. No Clumping, No Fiber Balls

Fibers disperse instantly, improving mixing efficiency and product consistency.

2. Strong Crack Resistance

They reduce plastic shrinkage cracks and micro-cracks in thin coatings.

3. Improved Durability

Enhanced cohesion and better resistance to impact and surface wear.

4. Smooth, Invisible Finish

Ideal for fine coatings and decorative surfaces.

5. Designed for Dry-Mix Manufacturing

No bridging, clogging, or blending issues in plant production lines.

Typical Applications

Self-dispersing PP fibers add stability and strength to:

• Mortars & plasters

• Putty powders

• Skim coats

• Tile adhesives

• EIFS base coats

• Thin-layer coatings

• Shotcrete and spray plasters

How to Use the Fibers

• Dosage: 0.6–1.0 kg/m³

• Lengths:

3–6 mm for coatings & plasters

6–9 mm for mortar and dry-mix products

• Mixing: Add directly into dry-mix production or site batching

Their high dispersion ensures clean blending without changes to the formula.
