High performance high strength, carbon fibre system for structural strengthening

Uses

Nitowrap EP(CF) is a carbon fibre composite system for strengthening columns and beams and slabs of load bearing structures particularly where improvement to shear strength and deformation characteristics is required. It is ideal for seismic retrofitting also. Typical applications include piers, columns, beams, slabs, retaining walls, masonry bridges, pipes, chimneys, tunnels and other structures.

Advantages

• Very high strength to thickness or weight ratio - Appreciable increase in strength and load carrying capacity without significant increase in dead load Enhanced stiffness, shear & tensile capacities -increased load carrying capacity and better resistance to seismic forces and deflection.
• Chemical resistant excellent resistance to acids and alkalis
• Flexible- Can be applied on any shape or contour of substrate
• Thin sections - Can be effectively used in spaceconstrained areas.
• Creep & Fatigue resistance - Ideal for conditions of sustained loading and repeated loading.
• Economical- Easy to install, time & labour saving
