Detailed Product Description

The pultruded CFRP laminate reinforcing consists of bonding the CFRP strip with the
concrete structure using a high-strength epoxy resin as the adhesive. The CFRP
strips are manufactured using a pultrusion process. The pultrusion principle is
comparable with a continuous press. Normally 24,000 parallel filaments are pulled
through the impregnated bath, formed into strips under heat, and hardened. These
strips are uni-directional; the fibers are oriented only in the longitudinal
direction. Correspondingly, the strip strength in this direction is proportional
to the fiber strength and, thus, very high. Strips are produced with strengths
of approximately 3,000 MPa in the longitudinal direction, and with a thickness
of up to 1.5 mm and widths of up to 150 mm. CFRP laminate reinforcing technology
provides a solution for strengthening problems of concrete structures. It provides
great strength, high modulus of elasticity, and outstanding fatigue resistance.
It is a very lightweight non-corrosive material, that requires minimal preparation
of laminates, and it's alkali resistant. It is an economic method that requires
very short contract times.
