Kalyani Polymers Pvt Ltd is one of the well known company in Concrete Industry. Would you like to share the success story of your company ?
KPPL, 30 year old manufacturing company was founded on the 3 pillars of innovation, ideation and inspiration where each day does not pass by without an impetus on developing new products and offering value to the end user, keeping in mind the sustainability and longevity of the product.

• Today our Fibers are exported to 20 countries world wide and used in major infra projects on the country, a few flagship projects being
• Mumbai Coastal road project – where our macro Fibers were used for concrete roads to avoid steel reinforments and and improved flexural strength of concrete
• Usage of Fibers in Rishikesh Karanprayag RVNL – Tunnel Shotcrete and tunnel linings to provide fire resistance and Energy Absorbtion
• Fibers in Bangalore Metro and Kride Railway Projexts – Micro Fibers aided in reducing shrinkage cracks in Viaducts and girders on metro lines mitigating a lot of quality issues in the project

What is your opinion about Concrete Quality in India as far as your business is concerned.
Many projects in India maintain good concrete quality regardless of their project size.
However, concrete quality varies from site to site due to differences due to variations in raw materials, mixing practices or in curing methods.

Following the right procedures and promoting awareness helps achieve consistent quality across all construction projects.

From our business perspective, as a polymer fiber manufacturer in the brand name FIBERCRETE® based in Bangalore, we ensure consistent better concrete quality by supplying reliable fibers for the right applications, guiding stakeholders on proper usage and providing site level technical support to achieve durable and high performance concrete.

What are the solutions your company is providing to the customers?
Fibercrete is a flagship brand of Kalyani Polymers offering fibers for concrete and cement or plaster applications helping improve the concrete durability and adds a layer of confidence and insurance to concrete as today M sand and curing practices are not at par to unskilled labour and skipping best practices at sites.

Can you brief us about the advantages of products being offered by your company to the construction Industry ?
We provide a wide range of advanced polymer fibers for residential, commercial and large scale projects, fully compliant with IS 16481, EN 14889-2 and ASTM C 1116.
The incorporation of our fibers in concrete offers multiple benefits, including:

• Control of early-age plastic shrinkage cracks
• Reduction of drying shrinkage and thermal cracking
• Lower permeability and dampness
• Improved tensile and flexural properties
• Enhanced energy absorption, impact, dynamic, and shear resistance
• Better fire resistance and prevention of spalling
• Replacement of conventional steel mesh in ground-supported and deck slabs.

Can you discuss the impacts of increasing inflation over your business?

Construction and the allied Raw material sector is very prone to Inflation due to the wide spectrum of basic materials and chemical and compositions of today’s mix designs

Over the past few months the inflationary trends have been due to climatic conditions resulting due to global warming causing delays in project deadlines and inflating project costs

Added to this the Geo political conditions in the west and wars have added inflationary pressures of pricing of basic chemicals and admixtures etc.
The govt of india has been keen to support the industry by reducing Gst on cement etc helping the industry in a small way and the end user would benefit with regard to residential and commercial sectors.
