Synthetic fibre and steel fibre are not the same product with different materials. They are usually reviewed for different reinforcement goals, handling conditions and project concerns.

Steel fibre review points

Steel fibre is often considered when the project needs toughness, crack bridging and post-crack behaviour. It may be reviewed for slabs, precast, shotcrete, bridge deck and UHPC-related concrete.

Synthetic fibre review points

Polypropylene fibre is often reviewed for crack control, corrosion-free handling, mortar, concrete products, ready-mix supply and practical construction convenience.

Ask with the application

Instead of only asking for a price by kilogram, send the application and expected result. This helps SHWITCOM recommend a product route that is easier to approve and repeat.
