Description:

Carbon Beam, Carbon Fiber concrete wall reinforcement kit. A complete kit for 100 square feet of carbon fiber reinforced structural concrete repair. Ideal for reinforcement of bowing or cracked walls. The 35 Stitch-Bonded Uni-Directional Carbon Fabric is produced from continuous tow carbon fiber. Unique fiber spreading techniques are utilized to obtain the correct UD fabric weight. Carbon Beam can be used for everything from foundation repair, concrete crack repair, concrete reinforcement, bowed basement and foundation walls, reinforcing concrete in roads and bridges, restoring the structural integrity of commercial buildings, both post and pre-construction, and even stabilizing mine shafts.

INSTALLATION SUMMARY:

• (see Product Datasheet, Video Instructions and MSDS Sheet for detailed methods). Cut Carbon Beam fabric to specified length(s). Mix #500 Epoxy Bonding resin at a 2 to 1 ratio (2 parts A component, 1 part B component) using a jiffy mixer at low speed. Do not whip air into mixture.
• This epoxy starts curing in 20 minutes – so only mix what you can use in this amount of time. Pour resin into a paint roller pan, and then apply a thick primer coat to the prepped area using a fine-nap 6 inch paint roller.
• Lift fabric and carefully press it into place. Use gloved hands to lightly smooth out air bubbles from the top of the fabric, down. Starting from the top, apply a second coat of resin, rolling vertically in the direction of the stitching to push out air pockets.
• Completely saturate the beam with resin, ensuring that carbon fiber fabric is fully encapsulated. Allow 24-48 hours for final cure of the #500 Bonding Epoxy.

BENEFITS:

• Economical.
• Stronger than steel.
• 12 inch wide surface area displaces more load than narrower products.
• Stabilizes bowing walls.
• Simple to install.
• Strengthens displaced walls.
• Can be used in conjunction with crack injection.
• Maintenance free.
• Finished repair is thin as a dime.
• Can be painted or coated over.

LIMITATIONS/PRECAUTIONS:

• Temperature of substrate must be above 40°F. New Concrete must be at least 28 days old. CPR’s #400 Bonding Epoxy has been custom formulated to bond this specific carbon fiber securely to concrete, and cure with a paintable surface.
• *NOTE* Surface preparation is vital. Without proper wall prep, the fabric will not bond with the concrete.

INCLUDED:

• One roll of carbon fiber fabric: 100 feet long, 12 inches wide
• Three 1.5 gallon units of #500 Liquid Epoxy Bonding Resin
• Optional: #400 Epoxy Paste for prefilling crack and overlaying carbon fiber
