Description

Sika® CarboDur® BC rods are pultruded carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates with a circular
cross section, designed for strengthening concrete, timber and masonry. Sika® CarboDur® BC rods are bonded into slots as nearsurface mounted reinforcement using Sikadur®-33,Sikadur®-330 or Sikadur®-30 epoxy resin based adhesives for normal application temperatures. Sikadur®-300epoxy resin based adhesive is used for horizontal applications.Sika® CarboDur® BC rods can also be used for anchoringSikaWrap® fabrics where positive attachment to concrete or masonry is required.Refer to the relevant Product Data Sheet for more detailedinformation about each adhesive.

Characteristics/Advantages :

• Non-corroding
• Very high strength
• Invisible once installed, no joints required
• Excellent durability and fatigue resistance
• Easy transportation#
• Lightweight, very easy to install
• Smooth edges without exposed fibres as the result of production by pultrusion
• Can accept traffic on the strengthened surface (rods not exposed)
• No surface preparation / levelling of uneven substrates required
• Improved resistance to fire (compared with externally bonded reinforcement)
• Testing and Approvals available from many countries worldwide
