Eager to speed up your structural reinforcement projects and reduce labor costs?

Carbon fiber can.

Introducing carbon fiber reinforced polymer into your structural reinforcement project means less manpower is required and project turnaround is faster. And, if you haven’t heard of the wonders of carbon fiber reinforced polymers – it’s only a matter of time before I recommend it to you!

Why can carbon fiber do it?

1. Carbon fiber reinforced polymer is very strong

Although they do not look large (especially in the form of sheets or wraps!), the carbon fiber-reinforced polymer material can maintain its shape. Unlike other composite materials used to reinforce structures, carbon fiber reinforced polymers also rely on the main structure to achieve their desired results as follows.

(1). The two components of this increasingly popular composite material are sufficient by themselves – carbon fiber gives strength

(2) The reinforced polymer resin protects the fibers and fixes them together. That is teamwork!

2. Carbon fiber reinforced polymer is lightweight

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer, or CFRP, is ideal for most concrete reinforcement work because of its light weight. They weigh only about 20% of similar products and are three and four times stronger, so they are easy to lift and require less manpower.

3. Carbon fiber reinforced polymer has high fatigue resistance

The maintenance cost of the structure processed by CFRP is very low. Carbon fiber-reinforced polymers are less prone to fatigue, so the job at hand will soon not need to be reconsidered.

4. Carbon fiber reinforced polymer is a good electrical conductor and a poor thermal conductor

Since CFRP materials are strong thermal conductors, they are indeed conductive, which means you must be careful where you install them and make sure to protect them. But they are non-magnetic, so they will never corrode or fatigue-they can be used to reinforce and reinforce most structural members you can think of. These elements will not intimidate carbon fiber reinforced polymers!

5. Carbon fiber reinforced polymer has a fast "curing time"

The carbon fiber-reinforced polymer can be cured in just a few hours. In 2014, our experts used CFRP materials to reinforce each floor of the Merchant Taylor School in a two-story building in London, and we completed the project in just 8 days!
