SikaWrap FX-50 C is a unidirectional carbon fiber anchor rope in an 82 ft (25 m) roll for structural strengthening. It anchors and connects SikaWrap fabrics through concrete or masonry and works as a flexible near-surface mounted system.
SikaWrap FX-50 C is a unidirectional structural carbon fiber rope in a plastic sleeve for anchoring and connecting SikaWrap carbon and glass fiber fabrics. This 82 ft (25 m) roll ties fabric edges into concrete or masonry; pair it with fabrics such as SikaWrap Hex-103 C. Dry fiber tensile strength is 580 x 10^6 psi, and anchor diameter is set by the number of rope bundles.

What work is SikaWrap FX-50 C used for?
It anchors or connects SikaWrap carbon and glass fiber fabrics on or through concrete and masonry. It also serves as a flexible near-surface mounted strengthening rope.
What fiber construction does SikaWrap FX-50 C use?
Unidirectional (0 deg) black carbon fiber packaged in a plastic sleeve on an 82 ft (25 m) reel.
What dry-fiber tensile strength does SikaWrap FX-50 C have?
Published dry fiber tensile strength is 580 x 10^6 psi (4000 MPa), with tensile modulus 3,500 x 10^6 psi.
What anchor diameters does SikaWrap FX-50 C support?
Anchor diameter is set by rope-bundle count, from 3/8 in (1 bundle) through approximately 1-1/8 in (8 bundles). Drill the hole 0.25 in to 0.375 in larger than the anchor.
What resins impregnate SikaWrap FX-50 C?
Sikadur Hex-300 impregnates the rope. Anchorage resin options include Sikadur-330, Sika AnchorFix-3001, and Sika AnchorFix-500.
What design guides cover SikaWrap FX-50 C systems?
Systems follow ACI 440 and AASHTO guides for externally bonded FRP strengthening of concrete and unreinforced masonry.
