Carbon Fibre Rod Strengthening System
DESCRIPTION
Deltarod CFR is a heavy duty carbon fibre reinforced rod material for structural strengthening system. Inserted under the concrete surface with special two components material Deltafix EP .
USES
Increasing the strength of reinforced concrete to anticipate the change of flexural and shear load due to : increase of loading capacity, changes of building utilization, repairing of defects, etc. It can be applied on beams, columns, walls, floor slabs, etc.
ADVANTAGES
- Very high strength
- Improve flexural and shear capacity
- Easy to transport and low in weight
- Simple application and no joints required
- No heavy handling and installation equipment needed.
- Alkali and corrosive resistant.
APPLICATION
Base Concrete Preliminary Preparation
Cut the concrete surface for rod insertion space. Then clean it from loose particles with an industrial vacuum cleaner. Ensure there is a space minimum of 5 mm between the rod and the concrete service.
Mixing for Deltafix EP
Apply the already mixed Deltafix EP to the prepared substrate by hand glove or trowel. Ensure it fully fill the insertion area.
Installation of Deltarod CFR
Insert Deltarod CFR into the insertion area which already filled with Deltafix EP. Compact the epoxy putty with trowel to ensure there are no voids. Ensure there is a cover thickness of minimum 1 (one) cm.
