With 25 billion square feet (over 2 billion square meters) of concrete placed in homes, offices, schools and manufacturing plants around the world, Propex Concrete Systems is the proven leader in fiber reinforcement. In fact, Propex pioneered the very concept of fiber reinforced concrete over 20 years ago by introducing original Fibermesh® polypropylene fibers. Focused to improve upon the wire mesh standard, Fibermesh still stands as a benchmark of innovation and quality. Over the decades, our international staff of fiber-reinforced concrete specialists have expanded their quest to solve concrete construction's greatest challenges in virtually every application imaginable: slab-on-ground, elevated slab, poured-in-place walls, shotcrete, precast and more. The resulting solutions have spawned a continually growing list of pioneering firsts, including fibrillated, multifilament and macro-synthetic fibers, as well as engineered blended systems of fibers for multifaceted applications. Our large portfolio of brands- Fibermesh, Novomesh®, Novocon®, ENDURO® and Fibercast®- continues to be the most recognized and the most used in the industry.
Today, Propex Concrete Systems is the world's largest supplier of fiber solutions for concrete reinforcement, with fiber concrete specialists and distributors in every major country in the world. We actively participate in worldwide testing and code approvals to ensure our products meet or exceed a wide range of stringent national and international standards. And our longstanding philosophy of solutions-oriented innovation ensures that you can count on us to anticipate and vigorously fulfill your needs in the future.
INNOVATION
When you consider our R&D department invests more than a million dollars in new product development every year, it's no surprise that our list of pioneering firsts that is unrivaled in the fiber reinforcement industry. Our patented e3® technology, for instance, enables us to engineer our fibers three ways: length, thickness and mix ratio. Together, these three properties enhance SI fibers by facilitating a faster dispersion in the concrete mix. Another first in fiber reinforcement technology is Propex's Novomesh engineered blended fiber solutions, which offer both early-age plastic shrinkage and plastic settlement crack protection and long-term drying shrinkage cracking protection for the life of the concrete. And most recently, our introduction of macro-synthetic fibers is being hailed by industry experts as the next generation of fibers.
