CFRP Wrap Hex – 230

CFRP Wrap Hex -230 C

Carbon Fiber Fabric for Structural Strengthening
_______________________________________________________________________________
Product Description Unidirectional, woven carbon fiber fabric for the application of
strengthening of beams, columns and other structural elements.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Advantages Strengthening of reinforced concrete structures, brickwork and
timber in case of flexural and shear load due to:
-- Increase of loading capacity
-- Changes of building utilization
-- Repair of deteriorated reinforced concrete.
-- Prevention of defects caused by earthquakes
-- Meeting of revised standards or specifications
_______________________________________________________________________________
Advantages Multifunctional use as bending or shear reinforcement
-- Flexibility of surface geometry (Beams, columns,
chimneys, piles, walls)
-- Resistance against chemicals and environmental
conditions (non-corrosive)
-- Fabric available in different widths for optimum
utilization.

Important information --
The fabric can be cut with special scissors or very sharp
knife, but may never be folded.
-- In fiber direction, overlapping sections of additional layers
should be distributed over the column circumference

Safety Instructions CFRP Wrap Hex-230C is non-reactive. However, caution must
be used when handling since a fine carbon dust may be present
on the surface. Gloves must therefore be worn to protect against
skin irritation.
Caution must also be used when cutting CFRP Wrap Hex-230C
to protect against airborne carbon dust generated by the cutting
procedure.
