Carbon Fiber Fabric

NitPro Composites CARBOTEX (BD) is a bidirectional and CARBOTEX (UD) is a Unidirectional woven carbon fiber fabric with incredible low-weight to-high-strength-ratio, designed for installation using the dry or wet application process. These fabrics are applied to the surfaces of existing structural members in buildings, bridges, beams, columns, or slabs, these fabrics offer a reliable solution for enhancing structural stability and durability while enhancing their load-bearing capacity and structural integrity. The bidirectional fabric provides strength in both directions, while the unidirectional fabric is ideal for reinforcing specific areas that require increased tensile strength.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
Structural strengthening of reinforced concrete, masonry, brickwork and timber elements or structures increase flexural and shear loading capacity.

CHARACTERISTICS/ ADVANTAGES
• Manufactured with heat-set weft fibers to keep the fabric stable
• Multi functional fabric for use in many different strengthening applications
• Flexible and accommodating to different surface planes and geometry (beams, columns, chimneys, piles, walls, soffits, silos etc.)
• Available in different widths for optimum utilization
• Low density for minimal additional weight
• Extremely cost effective in comparison to traditional strengthening techniques

USES
• High strength to weight ratio can add significant strength to a structure without adding significant deadload
• Excellent chemical resistance to acids and alkalis
• Correcting structural design and/ or construction defects
• Increasing resistance to seismic movement
• Improving service life and durability
• Very high strength to thickness or weight ratio - Appreciable increase in strength and load carrying capacitywithout significant increase in dead load
• Enhanced stiffness, shear & tensile capacities - Increased load carrying capacity and better resistance to seismic forces and dedication
• Economical- Easy to install, time & labour saving
• Increasing the loading capacity of structural elements
