CFRP ROD SK-CRS1000

Sika® CarboDur® Rods are pultruded carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) rods designed for strengthening concrete, timber and masonry structures. The rods are primarily installed using the Near Surface Mounted (NSM) technique by inserting into grooves cut into the substrate and bonded with an epoxy resin. The rods can also be used for anchoring SikaWrap fabrics for positive attachment to concrete or masonry

USES

▪ Negative moment reinforcing in slabs and decks
▪ Anchoring of SikaWrap fabrics
▪ Strengthening of masonry walls
▪ Doweling applications
▪ Cathodic protection applications

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

For Near Surface Mounted Applications, cut a groove into the concrete or masonry surface using an appropriate concrete saw or diamond blade. Surface must be clean and sound. It may be dry or damp, but free of standing water and frost. Remove dust, laitance, grease, curing compounds, impregnations, waxes, foreign particles, disintegrated materials and other bond inhibiting materials from the surface. In addition, clean the groove with compressed air prior to installation.
