Carbon fiber plate, also called carbon fiber strip or laminate, is produced from PAN-based (polyacrylonitrile) carbon fiber and compatible resin, such as epoxy, polyester, vinylester. Carbon fiber has at least 10 times tensile strength than the steel with very low density. It’s acid resistant, alkali resistant, non-corrosion, fatigue resistant. The carbon fiber plate can be directly bonded to the structure after standard preparation of the structure surface to provide additional strength to the structural elements, no matter concrete, masonry or timber. The adhesive, also called putty, is a two part resin system, 100% solid state. Compared to the normal strips on the market, this kind of strips will provide higher bonding strength with the substrate surface because of the increased interactive area. Before being applied, the peel ply should be peeled off, in this way, no extra cleaning with acetone should be done to the strip surface, which also saves much project time and keeps workers healthy from harm, because acetone is harmful when inhausted. It’s widely used in structural strengthening, structural reinforcement, concrete repairs and seismic retrofitting.
