Pp Baltic

What Pp Baltic does

PP Baltic is the trade brand of UAB In Fatis, a privately held Lithuanian limited company founded in 2018, operating as the official representative of Belgian manufacturer ADFIL nv for the Baltic markets of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. The company's core business is the distribution of ADFIL's polypropylene macro-synthetic fibers (DURUS EasyFinish, DURUS, Adfil Strux3032), polypropylene microfibers (Crackstop, Crackstop Liquid SRA), and fire-protection fibers (Ignis) as direct replacements for steel reinforcement mesh and steel fiber in concrete construction. Underlying technology centers on macro-synthetic fibers that form a 3D reinforcement network throughout the concrete matrix, certified to meet CE requirements at low dosages (2.4-2.5 kg/m³) and verified to provide 60-90% CO₂ emissions reduction versus steel reinforcement per Danish Technological University research with COWI and Ramboll.

The business model is project-based B2B distribution combined with bundled technical services. PP Baltic sells fiber products directly to construction companies, contractors, and precast concrete manufacturers in the Baltic region through enterprise field sales, with pricing determined per project by concrete volume and fiber type rather than published list pricing. Adjacent service streams include insured engineering calculations performed by qualified specialists (often via Danish partner PPCD under TR34 and Model Code 2010 standards), on-site technical supervision, and execution of concrete works through Lithuanian construction partners (Šiltas namas, Inti, Kauno gelžbetonis). Customer segments span industrial flooring, foundations, airports, military infrastructure, marine structures, agricultural facilities, and waste management — with notable project wins at Vilnius Airport, Rukla Military Base, Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant, and the NATO-standard logistics facility at Rukla funded by Germany.

The company is founder-led (Director Andrius Karpauskas), generates revenue through a combination of hardware sales and professional services, and has received seven consecutive years of Creditreform 'Strongest in Lithuania' certificates (2017-2023) at the Gold tier since 2022, indicating sustained financial stability. There are no disclosed investors, funding rounds, subsidiaries, or parent entities; the firm operates as an independent distribution channel embedded in ADFIL's broader European network.

Core offering

PP Baltic is the official Baltic States representative of Belgian polypropylene fiber manufacturer ADFIL, distributing macro-synthetic fibers (DURUS EasyFinish, DURUS, Adfil Strux3032), microfibers (Crackstop, Crackstop Liquid SRA), and fire-protection fibers (Ignis) to construction companies, contractors, and precast manufacturers. Beyond product distribution, the company provides insured engineering calculations for reinforcement design, concrete class selection, and fiber dosage, along with technical supervision and partner-executed concrete works, replacing traditional steel reinforcement mesh and steel fiber in concrete construction.

Product overview

PP Baltic is the official representative of Belgian manufacturer ADFIL for Baltic markets, offering a portfolio of polypropylene fiber and microfiber products for concrete reinforcement. The product range consists of three macro-fiber products (DURUS EasyFinish, DURUS, and Adfil Strux3032) for structural reinforcement and crack control, supplemented by two microfiber products (Crackstop and Crackstop Liquid SRA) for shrinkage and cracking prevention, and Ignis for passive fire protection. These products serve as alternatives to steel fiber and reinforcement mesh, providing 3D reinforcement networks throughout concrete structures while offering resistance to environmental factors such as salts, alkalis, moisture, and chemicals. Solutions are applicable across foundations, floors, outdoor areas, tunnels, marine structures, agricultural facilities, and precast concrete products.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• DURUS EasyFinish High-performance polypropylene macro-fiber for concrete reinforcement of outdoor pavements, roads, parking lots, building floors, and precast concrete products. CE-certified; achieves required reinforcement parameters at 2.5 kg/m³ dosage and is designed for surfaces that are combed or not fully troweled, reducing plastic shrinkage cracking up to 100% and controlling long-term cracking to 0.02 mm crack width.
• DURUS Polypropylene macro-fiber designed to replace widely used steel fiber and reinforcement mesh, forming a 3D reinforcement network in concrete. Fiber lengths available from 30 mm to 55 mm, typical dosage 2-4 kg/m³ of concrete.
• Adfil Strux3032 High-performance polypropylene fiber for fully smoothed (troweled) industrial floors. Unique fiber structure allows fibers to be hidden under the hardener layer without surface defects; CE certification achieved at 2.4 kg/m³, typically dosed at 2.4-3 kg/m³ for industrial floor concrete.
• Crackstop High-performance monofilament polypropylene microfiber that reduces concrete surface cracking during the initial setting stage and extends the service life of concrete surfaces and products. Fiber lengths available from 3 mm to 19 mm; typical dosage 0.6-0.9 kg/m³ of concrete.
• Crackstop Liquid SRA Shrinkage-reducing admixture (SRA) for concrete, designed to reduce long-term concrete shrinkage primarily in jointless floor applications. Reduces shrinkage by 40% at 3 l/m³ and up to 60% at 5 l/m³.
• Ignis Polypropylene fiber providing passive fire protection for reinforced concrete structures. In a fire, fibers melt at approximately 160°C and vaporize at 360°C, creating micro-channels that allow moisture and vapor pressure to escape, preventing explosive spalling of concrete; used in tunnels, high-rise buildings, bridges, and underground car parks.
• Technical Consulting and Insured Engineering Calculations Technical consulting and insured engineering calculation services (via Danish partner PPCD) for concrete reinforcement design, including alternative solutions to reinforcement mesh and steel fiber, concrete class selection, slab thickness, fiber dosage, and technical specifications compliant with TR34 and Model Code 2010. Services include on-site project supervision and joint meetings with designers, clients, contractors, and ADFIL manufacturer representatives.
• Concrete Works Execution (via Partner Network) Concrete works execution service delivered in partnership with Lithuanian construction companies, providing complete project delivery using PP Baltic supplied polypropylene fiber reinforcement — applied at military bases (Rukla, Pabradė), commercial facilities, and industrial projects across the Baltic States.
