• The low weight does not create any additional load;
• Corrosion resistance is above average;
• Easy to transport and install;
• Minimal labor and time costs of the work performance;
• It is possible to use without any shutdown of the reinforced construction;
• High tensile mechanical properties;
• No additional costs in following operation.
• Enlarging operational loads of structures at industrial and civil facilities;
• Restoration of the structures load-bearing capacity, the reduction of which is caused by corrosion and/or environmental conditions;
• Seismic Reinforcement;
• Additional protection from surface cracking, increase of structural rigidity;
• Modification of the static lay-out when supports, walls, slab fragments are removed;
• Correcting design and engineering errors.
Surfaces to which carbon lamels are to be applied must be durable and prepped with abrasive methods for sufficient adhesion. The surface must be free of defects, imperfections, protrusions and cavities. Before applying the adhesive, a thorough dusting is carried out. No moisture should remain on the surface during operation.
Spread Xwrap Lamel carbon lamels on a clean table and thoroughly clean the surface with acetone or any other suitable solvent to remove contaminants. After surface treatment take a technological break for not less than 30 min until the solvent evaporates completely. Well-mixed Xwrap Resin Laminate+ adhesive is applied in a layer of at least 1 mm on the pre-prepared surface, then the adhesive is applied to the lamel surface with a thickness of 1.5 mm or more, and then wait some time to achieve maximum adhesion. The carbon lamels are applied to the previously prepared and adhesive-coated reinforced element within the specified gel time of the epoxy adhesive. A rubber roller is used to press the lamel tightly to remove excess adhesive. Remove excess adhesive covering the edges of the lamel.
Warranty storage period of lamels (as from the date of manufacture) in a sealed package, in a dry place at a temperature of +5°...+25 ° C is 1 year.
