KRATOS FIBERS
KRATOS C-MESH
Carbon Mesh Fabric: Carbon mesh fabric is a type of composite material made from carbon fibers arranged in a mesh-like structure. It is known for its high strength, light weight, and durability. This fabric is commonly used in various applications such as reinforcement in construction, aerospace, automotive industries, and sports equipment due to its excellent mechanical properties and resistance to wear and tear.
- Strengthen for increasing load capacity.
- Address changes in structural system, like slab openings and walls, beams or columns removal.
- Retrofit for seismic, wind or blast.
- Light weight, only 1/5 of steel mesh, easier apply.
- High strength, single fiber strength is 5-7 times than normal steel
- Good toughness, suitable for unsmoothly or masonry surface
Áreas de Uso
Applications of Kratos C-Mesh in Construction:
- Reinforcement of Concrete Structures: Carbon mesh fabric is used to reinforce concrete elements, enhancing their tensile strength and durability. It helps prevent cracking and increases the lifespan of structures.
- Strengthening Historical Buildings: It is employed in the restoration and strengthening of historical buildings, where it can be integrated seamlessly with existing materials to provide additional support without altering the building’s appearance.
- Bridge and Infrastructure Repair: Carbon mesh fabric is used in the repair and reinforcement of bridges, tunnels, and other infrastructure. Its high strength-to-weight ratio makes it ideal for strengthening critical structural components.
- Seismic Retrofit: In earthquake-prone areas, carbon mesh fabric is used for seismic retrofitting to enhance the structural integrity of buildings and reduce the risk of damage during seismic events.
- Building Facades: It can be utilized in building facades to provide structural reinforcement and improve the durability of exterior surfaces.
- Floor and Roof Systems: Carbon mesh fabric is used in floor and roof systems to add strength and stability, particularly in high-load areas or in structures that require lightweight reinforcement.
- Geotechnical Applications: It is also used in geotechnical applications, such as soil stabilization and reinforcement, to improve the stability and load-bearing capacity of soil.
