Description:

Unidirectional high strength carbon fibre, glass fibre or basalt fibre cord for impregnation with MapeWrap 21 to make “structural
connections”

Technical Characteristics :

MapeWrap C FIOCCO, MapeWrap G FIOCCO and MapeWrap B FIOCCO are part of the MapeWrap range of products, an innovative system for strengthening, static and seismic upgrading of reinforced concrete and masonry structures. The products are composed by unidirectional carbon fibre (Mapewrap C FIOCCO), glass fibre (MapeWrap G FIOCCO) and basalt fibre (MapeWrap B FIOCCO) threads inside a gauze wrapping which gives it its characteristic “cord” appearance. The carbon and glass fibre “cords” are available in diameters of 6, 8, 10 and 12 mm. The basalt fibre “cords” are available in diameters of 10 and 12 mm. The cords are used in combination with fabrics from the MapeWrap range, Carboplate plates or the Mapegrid mesh in order to improve the anchorage, particularly in flexural and shear strengthening applications. Thanks to its composition and production process, which guarantees the same properties in all points, MapeWrap C FIOCCO, MapeWrap G FIOCCO and MapeWrap B FIOCCO have the following characteristics:

• high tensile strength
• lightweight;
• resistance to alkaline hydroxides in the concrete;
• resistance to corrosion, including when chlorides or other aggressive
• substances are present;
• excellent fatigue strength.
