Structural CFRP
Structural Strengthening plate
Weprovide CFRP plates via pultrusion process for strengthening concrete structures such as externally bonded CFRP sheets and near surface mounted FRP.
The performance of the strengthening methods depends on the strength of the adhesive used to bond carbon fiber reinforced plastics to the concrete surface and the degree of stress at the interface of the concrete and carbon fiber reinforced plastics.

- Very high mechanical strength, ten times higher than steel.
- Very lightweight, unnoticeable weight in the structural calculation.
- Versatile: various widths available and its length adjustable to each element without joints.
- Its minimum thickness allows it to maintain the original shape and appearance of the structure.
- Very easy to transport and install.
- It does not show corrosion, and is maintenance-free.
- Excellent fatigue strength.
- Excellent durability and good chemical strength.
- Rough surface that facilitates the adherence of the adhesive.
