TTPlast CN
They are long synthetic fibers produced from high molecular weight polymers such as polyolefin or polypropylene. It makes concrete more durable by intervening in micro-level structural defects.
These fibers extend the service life of concrete by increasing its resistance to early age cracks. By restricting the capillary movement of water, it reduces the water absorption capacity of concrete and increases its resistance to corrosive effects.
Compared to steel fibers, these synthetic fibers pose no risk of electrochemical corrosion. It also provides a more uniform distribution within the concrete and has the potential to reduce labor costs because it requires no special alignment or placement.
It is frequently preferred in non-structural and structural concrete applications with high performance requirements. These include structures in earthquake zones, high traffic floors, water structures and tunnels.
Integration of Macro Synthetic Fibers is simple. They are added directly to the concrete during the concrete batch process and are easily dispersed by mechanical mixing.
The fiber geometry is optimized according to the specific needs of the application. Hydrodynamic design and variant dimensions are used for optimal distribution and performance.
In general, the quality of the polymer used in the production of the fiber, fiber geometry and the total usage amount are the main factors affecting the cost.
When used in optimal proportions, these fibers do not adversely affect the workability of concrete, although in some cases the water/cement ratio may need to be slightly adjusted.
It shows a significant improvement in the tensile strength of concrete. While it increases impact and wear resistance, it may not have a direct effect on compressive strength.
The production of Macro Synthetic Fibers is more sustainable and energy efficient compared to steel fibers. No risk of corrosion extends the service life of structures and further reduces their environmental impact.

Crystallizing Effect Waterproofing Additive for Fresh Concrete Applications
Product Description
TTPlast CN® is a waterproofing additive that creates a crystallizing effect and seals capillary voids in fresh concrete, preventing water penetration.
Applications- In open or closed water conveyance channels,
- In hydraulic structures such as dams and culverts,
- In water reservoirs and swimming pool structures,
- In concrete elements exposed to water, in cases with low or high water pressure,
- In underground structures at risk of capillary water infiltration from both sides.
- Provides waterproofing by sealing capillary voids in the concrete,
- Enhances the durability of concrete and reinforcement by providing water resistance,
- Reduces the risk of plastic shrinkage cracking,
- Provides resistance to freezing,
- Improves the workability of concrete,
- Does not contain chlorides or harmful substances,
- Does not contain solvents.
- Shake well before use.
- Ensure that aggregates and mixing water are clean.
- TTPlast CN® should be mixed into the fresh concrete mixing water at a specified ratio. It should not be added directly to the dry mix.
- The ambient temperature during application should be at least +5°C.
- Proper curing of the concrete after pouring is essential.
TTPlast CN® should be added to the mixing water at 0,7% – 1% of the cement weight, depending on the thickness of the concrete exposed to water.
