| 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 near surface mounted reinforcement using Sikadur-33, Sikadur-330 or Sikadur-30 epoxy resin based adhesives for normal application temperatures. Sikadur-300 epoxy resin based adhesive is used for horizontal applications.
Sika CarboDur BC rods can also be used for anchoring SikaWrap fabrics where positive attachment to concrete or masonry is required.
Refer to the relevant Product Data Sheet for more detailed information about each adhesive. - 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

Usage Sika CarboDur BC rods 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
Combination with other strengthening products:- Doweling applications
- Anchoring of SikaWrap fabrics
