SikaWrap-231 C carbon fibre fabric for structural wrapping

SikaWrap®-231 C is a unidirectional woven carbon fibre fabric. The Product is made of high strength carbon fibres with an area density of 235 g/m². The fabric is designed for installation using the dry or wet application process.

Usage

SikaWrap®-231 C is used as a reinforcement fabric for externally bonded structural strengthening systems on concrete, masonry and wooden substrates. Externally bonded structural strengthening systems are used for:

• Increasing the flexural and shear loading capacity of elements and structures
• Enhancing the load-carrying capacity or ductility of structural members in compression
• Replacing missing steel reinforcement
• Structural upgrading of weak concrete elements or structures
• Improving impact resistance
• Passive strengthening for seismic event protection

Please note:

• A specialist structural engineer must be consulted for any structural strengthening design calculation.

Advantages

• Improves the service life of a structure
• Manufactured with thermo-welded weft fibres to keep the fabric stable
• Multifunctional fabric for use in many different strengthening applications
• Flexible and accommodating to different surface planes and geometry (such as beams, columns, chimneys, piles, walls, soffits and silos)
• Available in different widths for optimum utilisation
• Low density for minimal additional weight
