Sika Wrap 230C

Woven unidirectional carbon fibre fabric, designed for structural strengthening applications as part of the strengthening system. 

Product Description

SikaWrap®-230 C is a unidirectional woven carbon fibre fabric
with mid-range strengths, designed for installation using the dry
application process.

Uses

Structural strengthening of reinforced concrete, masonry, steel, brickwork, and
timber elements or structures, to increase flexural, shear and axial loading capacity
for:

• Improved seismic performance of masonry walls
• Replacing missing steel reinforcement
• Increasing the strength and ductility of columns
• Increasing the loading capacity of structural elements
• Enabling changes in use/alterations and refurbishment
• Correcting structural design and/or construction defects
• Increasing resistance to seismic movement
• Improving service life and durability
• Structural upgrading to comply with current standards

Characteristics / Advantages

• Manufactured with weft fibres to keep the fabric stable (heat-set)
• Multifunctional fabric for use in many different strengthening applications
• Flexible and accommodating of different surface planes and geometry (beams,
  columns, chimneys, piles, walls, soffits, silos, etc.)
• Available in different widths for optimum utilisation
• Low density for minimal additional weight
• Extremely cost-effective in comparison to traditional strengthening techniques
