SikaWrap (r) -230 c is a unidirectional woven carbon fibre fabric for the dry application process. Uses strengthening of reinforced concrete structures, brickwork and timber in case of flexural and shear load due to: Improved seismic performance of masonry walls. Fabric available in several widths for optimum utilisation Low density for minimal additional weight Economical compared to traditional techniques.

Fabric Design Thickness 0.131 mm (based on fibre content). Fibre Density 1.76 g/cm 3
Mechanical / Physical Properties Dry Fibre Properties Tensile strength: 4'300 N/mm 2 (nominal). Tensile E-modulus: 238'000 N/mm 2 (nominal). Elongation at break: 1.8% (nominal). Laminate Properties Laminate thickness: 1.0 mm per layer (impregnated with Sikadur
-330). Ultimate load: 350 kN/m width per layer (at typical laminate thickness of 1.0 mm). Tensile E-modulus: 28.0 kN/mm 2 (based on typical laminate thickness of 1.0 mm). 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/m 2 (Sikadur
-330). - Impregnating of the following layers: ~ 0.5 kg/m 2 (Sikadur
-330). Substrate Quality Specific requirements: Minimal substrate tensile strength: 1.0 N/mm 2 or as specified in the strengthening design. Substrate Preparation Refer to Sikadur
-330 Product Data Sheet.
3 3/3 SikaWrap-230 C 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 fibre 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. 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. Value Base All technical data stated in this Product Data Sheet are based on laboratory tests. Actual measured data may vary due to circumstances beyond our control.
