| VelaCarb 600 is a PAN based dry, unidirectional carbon fiber fabric that is field-impregnated with Veloxx LR laminating resin to create a carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminate. VelaCarb fabrics are produced under ISO 9002 standards. VelaCarb 600 is part of the FiberBond™ Strengthening System, a patented ICBO/ICC-ES approved (ESR-2095) highly engineered product for strengthening concrete and masonry structures. For most applications VelaCarb 600 is a proven cost effective alternative to traditional strengthening techniques.100% Solvent free / VOC compliant Advantages: - High strength.
- Lightweight, can be installed without heavy equipment.
- Can be used on both reinforced and prestressed concrete structures.
- Class I flame spread classification (ASTM E84), can be used in all building types.
- Durable, highly resistant to aggressive environments.
- Flexible, fabric can be wrapped around structural elements.
- Woven fabric is ideally suited for construction sites, fibers will not fray or separate under normal handling.
- Thin, minimal aesthetic impact.
- Can be applied dry or pre-impregnated with resin.
- Economical, installed costs competitive with traditional alternates.
- ICC ES (ESR-2095) listed product
