PC^® CARBOCOMP UNI are Uni-directional carbon fiber laminates used to increase the bending strength of structural elements: all fibers are in the longitudinal direction. These carbon fiber laminates are glued with epoxy glue PC^® 5800 BL (with CE marking) on the surface which has to be strengthened.

Minimum fiber content: 65 volume %

Width: 60, 100, 120, 150 mm (other widths on request)

Effective thickness: 1.0 mm (other thicknesses on request)

Total thickness (bonding structure included): 1.2 mm (other thicknesses on request)

Tensile strength: >2850 MPa

Modulus of elasticity: >175 GPa

Maximum elongation: 1.65%

Density: 1.6 g/cm³

Water absorption: < 0.1 percent by weight

Application temperature: -40°C to + 130°C



Applications:

Reinforcing of beams, floors, walls and columns in concrete, wood and steel. Strengthening of bridges and buildings, for example in the following cases:

• Repair of the original bearing capacity, like after a fire or corrosion of the rebars.
• Local strengthening of construction elements, when making holes through floor plates or walls.
• To increase the load bearing capacity.
• To repair errors during construction.

Advantages:
 

• High tensile strength and stiffness
• Light weight
• Very low creep
• Flexible in use
• Great lengths can be jointless installed
• Excellent corrosion, acid and alkali resistance
• High durability
• Little thermal expansion
• Requires little or no maintenance
• The finishing with paint or plaster demands no special requirements.
• The laminate is protected by a peel ply that must be removed before application. Thanks to this no roughening, cleaning and degreasing is necessary.
