Sika CarboDur® plates are pultruded carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates, designed for strengthening concrete, timber, masonry, steel and fiber reinforced polymer structures.

Increased Load Carrying Capacity :

• Increasing the load capacity of floor slabs, beams and bridge sections
• For Installation of heavier machinery
• To stabilising vibrating structures
• For changes in building use

Damage to structural element due to :

• Deterioration of original construction materials
• Steel reinforcement corrosion
• Accidents ( Vehicle impact, earthquakes, fire)

Improvement of serviceability and durability :

• Reduced deflection and crack width
• Stress reduction in steel reinforcement
• Improved fatigue resistance

Change of the structural system:

• Removal of walls and /or columns
• Removal of floor and wall sections to create access / openings

• Non corroding
• Very high strength
• Excellent durability and fatigue resistance
• Unlimited lengths, no joints required
• Low system thickness, simple execution of plate intersections or crossings
• Easy transportation (rolls)
• Light weight , Very easy to install, especially overhead (without temporary support )
• Minimum preparation of plate applicable in several layers
• Smooth edges without exposed fibers as result of production by pultrusion
• Extensive testing and approvals available from many countries worldwide
