PP Fiber for EIFS
Tenessy PP Fiber – Crack Control and Durability Enhancement
Tenessy PP Fiber for EIFS
EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish System) is a modern wall insulation solution that combines aesthetics, energy efficiency, and protection for building exteriors. However, due to temperature changes, drying shrinkage, or external impact, EIFS layers are prone to cracking—compromising the system’s durability and waterproofing performance.
Tenessy PP Fiber (Polypropylene Fiber) is the ideal reinforcing additive for EIFS formulations. Made from high-quality polypropylene through advanced extrusion and cutting technology, it provides excellent crack resistance, impact toughness, and dimensional stability. By evenly dispersing within the base coat and finish coat, it strengthens the mortar matrix and minimizes cracking, ensuring the EIFS remains durable and visually perfect over time.
PP Fiber Features
- Lightweight
With a density of approximately 0.91 g/cm³, PP fiber is one of the lightest synthetic fibers. A small amount covers a large area, making it economical and easy to handle. - Excellent Chemical Stability
Resistant to acids, alkalis, and most organic solvents, ensuring long-lasting durability without degradation. - High Tensile Strength
The fiber exhibits strong tensile and wear resistance, maintaining elasticity and integrity under stress. - Hydrophobic and Quick-Drying
The fiber does not absorb water and dries quickly, helping EIFS systems maintain stable moisture levels. - Mildew & Bacteria Resistant
Naturally resistant to mold growth, improving long-term wall hygiene and appearance.
Key Benefits of PP Fiber in EIFS
In an EIFS system, PP Fiber plays multiple roles throughout formulation and application:
- Superior Crack Resistance: Effectively controls microcracks and shrinkage during curing and thermal changes.
- Improved Flexural & Impact Strength: Enhances the toughness and flexibility of EIFS mortar.
- Better Durability: Increases resistance to aging, freeze-thaw cycles, and weathering.
- Enhanced Water Resistance: Reduces water penetration through cracks, improving the waterproofing performance.
- Excellent Compatibility: Works well with polymer-modified mortars, adhesives, and finishing coats.
- Cost-Effective Reinforcement: A small dosage provides significant improvement in EIFS performance.
- Environmentally Friendly: Non-toxic, non-corrosive, and safe for construction workers and end users.
