CFRP Strips
Heavy-Duty Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) Strips for
Structural Repair & Strengthening
________________________________________________________
Product Heavy-duty strengthening system for reinforced
concrete, masonry, timber etc. consisting of thin CFRP
Strips with epoxy adhesive Chemdur 30.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Uses CFRP Composite system is used in the following
situations:
- Increased loads in existing structures.
- Changes in building utilization
- Addition of Floors
- Earthquake strengthening
- Repair & Retrofitting of damaged structures.
- Compensation for under-reinforcement
__________________________________________________________________
Advantages - Lightweight
- Thin cross-section
- Easy to transport (rolls)
- Economical application- no heavy handling and installation
equipment.
- Very high strength
- High alkali and fatigue resistance
- No corrosive

Application
________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Important notes
Mix Chemdur 30 at low speed (max. 500rpm) so that as little air as possible
is being entrained. Work the adhesive well into the concrete surface.
Medium adhesive tensile strength of the prepared concrete substrate should
be 1.5 N/mm2.
Max. substrate moisture content 4 %
Min. application temp. + 10C.
Ambient and substrate temperature during application must be min. 5C.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Substrate Concrete:
Clean surface, free from grease and oil, dry, no loose particles or
laitance. Concrete age, depending on climate, 3 to 4 weeks
minimum.
Surface Preparation: Grinding, chipping or sand-blasting.
Remove all dust & loose particles by an air blower. The surface
to be coated must be level. Tolerance for 2 m length, max.10 mm.

Application Apply the well-mixed Chemdur 30 adhesive carefully to the
properly prepared substrate with a spatula to form a very thin
layer. Place CFRP Strip on a table and clean it with Colma
Cleaner. Apply Chemdur 30 adhesive with a spatula onto the
CFRP Strip.
Within the open time of the adhesive, depending on temperature,
place strip onto the concrete surface. Using a rubber roller, press
the strip into the epoxy adhesive until the material is forced out
on both sides of the laminate. Remove surplus epoxy adhesive.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Adhesive Consumption Approximately 0.50 Kg/m of Chemdur 30 will be used for
CFRP Strip of 80 mm width.
