| Sika CarboDur plates are pultruded carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates, designed for strengthening concrete, timber, masonry, steel and fibre reinforced polymer structures.
Sika CarboDur plates are bonded onto the structure as externally bonded reinforcement using Sikadur-30 epoxy resin based adhesive for normal temperatures during application and/or service.
Please refer to the relevant Product Data Sheet(s) for more detailed information about each of these adhesives. - Non-corroding.
- Very high strength.
- Excellent durability and fatigue resistance.
- Unlimited lengths, no joints required.
- Low system thickness, simple execution of plate intersections or crossings.
- Easy transportation (rolls).
- Lightweight, very easy to install, especially overhead (without temporary support).
- Minimum preparation of plate, applicable in several layers.
- Smooth edges without exposed fibres as result of production by pultrusion.
- Extensive Testing and Approvals available from many countries worldwide.

Usage Sika CarboDur systems are used to improve, increase or repair the performance and resistance of structures for:
Increased Load Carrying Capacity:- Increasing the load capacity of floor slabs, beams and bridge sections.
- For the installation of heavier machinery.
- To stabilise vibrating structures.
- For changes in building use.
Damage to structural elements due to:- Deterioration of the original construction materials.
- Steel reinforcement corrosion.
- Accidents (vehicle impact, earthquakes, fire).
Improvement of serviceability and durability:- Reduced deflection and crack width.
- Stress reduction in the steel reinforcement.
- Improved fatigue resistance.
Change of the structural system:- Removal of walls and/or columns.
- Removal of floor and wall sections to create access/openings.
Resistance to possible events:- Increased resistance to earthquakes, impact or explosion, etc.
To repair design or construction defects such as:- Insufficient/inadequate reinforcement.
- Insufficient/inadequate structural depth.
Advantages - Non-corroding.
