Woven Carbon Fiber Fabric for Structural Strengthening

Product
Description
SikaWrap-230 C is a unidirectional woven carbon fiber fabric
for the dry application process.
Uses
Characteristics /
Advantages
Strengthening of reinforced concrete structures, brickwork and timber in case of

flexural and shear load due to:
Improved seismic performance of masonry walls
Substitute missing rebars
Strength and ductility of columns
Increasing loading capacity of structural elements
Changes of building utilisation
Structural design construction defects
Seismic movement
Improved serviceability
Structural upgrading to comply with current standards
Manufactured with weft fibers to keep the fabric stable (heat-set process)
Multifunctional use for every kind of strengthening requirement
Flexibility of surface geometry (Beams, columns, chimneys, piles, walls,
silos)
Fabric available in several widths for optimum utilisation
Low density for minimal additional weight
Economical compared to traditional techniques

Tensile E-modulus:
238000 N/mm2 (nominal).
Elongation at break:
1.8% (nominal).
Laminate Properties
Laminate thickness:

Note:
The above values are typical and indicative only.
The achievable laminate properties obtained from tensile test are dependant on
the impregnating/laminating resin used and the type of tensile testing procedure.
Apply material reduction factors according to the relevant design standard.
Design
Design strain:
This value is dependent on the type of loading and must be adapted according
to the relevant design standards.
System Information
System Structure
The system configuration as described must be fully complied with and may not
be changed.
Concrete primer - Sikadur-330.
Impregnating / laminating resin - Sikadur-330.
Structural strengthening fabric - SikaWrap-230 C.
For detailed resin properties, fabric application details and general information,
refer to Sikadur-330 Product Data Sheet.
Application Details
Consumption
Depending on the roughness of the substrate.

Impregnating of the first layer incl. primer: ~ 0.7 - 1.2 kg/m2 (Sikadur-330).
Impregnating of the following layers: approximately 0.5 kg/m2 (Sikadur330).
Substrate Quality
Specific requirements:
Minimal substrate tensile strength: 1.0 N/mm2 or as specified in the strengthening
design.
Substrate Preparation
Refer to Sikadur-330 Product Data Sheet.

Application Instructions
Application Method / Tools
The fabric can be cut with special scissors or razor knife. Never fold the fabric!
Refer to Sikadur-330 Product Data Sheet for impregnating / laminating
procedure.
Notes on Application /
Limitations
This product may only be used by experienced professionals.

Minimum radius required for application around corners: > 20 mm.
Grinding edges or building up with Sikadur mortars may be necessary.
In fiber direction, overlapping of the fabric must be at least 100 mm depending
on SikaWrap type or as specified in the strengthening design.
For side-by-side application, no overlapping length in the weft direction is
required. Overlaps of additional layers must be distributed over the column
circumference.
Construction
The strengthening application is inherently structural and great care must be

taken when choosing suitably experienced contractors.
The SikaWrap-230 C fabric is coated to ensure maximum bond and durability with
the Sikadur impregnating/laminating resins. To maintain system compatibility
do not interchange system parts.
The SikaWrap-230 C may be / must be coated with a cementitious overlay or
coatings for aesthetic and/or protective purposes. Selection will be dependent on
exposure requirements. For basic UV protection use Sikagard-550 W Elastic,
Sikagard ElastoColor 675 W or Sikagard-680 S.
