In this competitive scenario, it isn't easy to survive in the market without a standard quality and certified product. BIS license may also be required to sell products in the Indian market.

To get BIS certification and produce a standard quality product, the manufacturer must ensure that their product must follow the specified Indian standard.

Let's take a closer look at IS 16481: 2022 Synthetic Micro-Fibres for cement-based Matrix use.

IS 16481:2022 covers Synthetic Micro-Fibres. The Bureau of Indian Standards adopted this Indian standard after the textile division council approved the draft finalized by the technical textiles for Build tech sectional committee.

This standard specifies the physical, application, and functional requirements for synthetic microfibers such as polyester, nylon, and polypropylene fibres, etc. for use in cement-based matrices for secondary reinforcement in construction works such as concrete roads and pavements, industrial and commercial floorings, residential and commercial buildings, bridges and elevated structures, water retaining structures and dams, ports and under sea concrete structures, plaster, shortcrete, etc.

This standard primarily addresses the requirements for synthetic fibres used for secondary reinforcement of concrete, such as polyester, polypropylene, and nylon. The synthetic fibres used for secondary reinforcement in concrete must meet the requirements specified in clause 4 of this standard, as well as the physical, application, and functional requirements specified in the standard.

Only virgin synthetic fibres with cut lengths ranging from 6mm to 25mm that are inert to the concrete environment may be used as secondary reinforcement in cement-based matrices; no recycled material is permitted. Fibers must be well dispersed in a cement-based matrix to achieve uniform functional properties.
