Sika CarboDur Carbon Fiber Rods - High-Strength Rods for Structural Strengthening
Sika CarboDur Carbon Fiber Rods are high-strength, pultruded carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) rods designed for the structural strengthening of concrete, timber, and masonry. These rods are ideal for Near Surface Mounted (NSM) applications and are inserted into grooves cut into the substrate, then bonded with epoxy resin for a durable and reliable reinforcement solution. Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and easy to install, Sika CarboDur Rods offer a versatile solution for improving structural load-bearing capacities, repairing damaged structures, and enhancing serviceability.
Key Features:
- High tensile strength and modulus of elasticity for structural reinforcement
- Non-corrosive and lightweight, providing long-term durability
- Flexible installation options, including NSM technique
- Alkali-resistant and fatigue-resistant
- Can be easily cut to custom lengths for various applications
Applications:
- NSM reinforcement for slabs, decks, beams, and walls
- Anchoring of SikaWrap fabrics for enhanced structural support
- Strengthening of masonry walls and doweling applications
- Repair of aging or damaged structural components
