VelaGlass 875U is a dry, unidirectional glass fiber fabric that is field-impregnated with Veloxx LR laminating resin to create a glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) laminate. VelaGlass 875U is part of the patented FiberBond™ Strengthening System, a highly engineered product for strengthening concrete and masonry structures. For most applications VelaGlass 875U is a proven cost effective alternative to traditional strengthening techniques. 100% Solvent free / VOCcompliant 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.
