FOX CARBOND® PLATE is a high-performance carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) plate specially developed for structural strengthening projects. It is used to strengthen reinforced concrete beams, slabs, timber beams and various load-bearing structural elements against bending, shear and vibration effects. Offering outstanding mechanical properties with an elastic modulus of 165,000 N/mm² and a tensile strength of 3,000 N/mm², the product can be cut to suit the project in thickness options of 1.2–1.4 mm and width options of 50–100 mm. A water absorption rate of less than 0.1% ensures long-term durability. It is bonded to the surface using FOX CARBOND® PLATE ADHESIVE; in areas exposed to sunlight, the surface must be protected with a suitable coating system.

Product Description

Key Benefits

Thanks to its high tensile strength (3,000 N/mm²), the load-bearing capacity of structural elements is effectively increased.
Its lightweight nature adds no extra load to the existing structure and does not adversely affect ground and foundation calculations.
It is applied much faster and more easily compared to steel or reinforced concrete jacketing systems, saving labour and time.
In engineering structures such as bridges and viaducts, strengthening work can be carried out without the need to close the structure to traffic.
Its low water absorption rate (below 0.1%) provides long-term durability and performance assurance.
As an economical strengthening solution, it reduces project costs.

Application Steps

1
Surface Preparation
The surfaces to be applied must be sound, dry, load-bearing, dust-free and clean. The surface must be thoroughly cleaned of all oil, grease, rust and paraffin residues that could weaken adhesion. Surface defects must be repaired with structural repair mortars. The application surface must be primed with FOX CARBOND® PRIMER. Prior to application, the plate must be cut and prepared to the dimensions specified in the project.
2
Adhesive Application
FOX CARBOND® PLATE ADHESIVE must be applied with a spatula to the smooth surfaces of the fibre reinforced polymer plate (FOX CARBOND® PLATE) to achieve a thickness of 1–1.5 mm. At the same time, FOX CARBOND® PLATE ADHESIVE must also be applied with a spatula to the primed application surface to the same thickness of 1–1.5 mm.
3
Plate Placement
The carbon polymer plates are placed with a slight tension in the direction of the fibres, ensuring no air voids remain beneath them. The carbon plates are then pressed with a roller in the direction of the fibres to ensure they are fully seated against the surface with no gaps.
4
Protective Coating (When Required)
In areas where protection from sunlight is required, FOX EPOTHANE® PRIMER should be applied as a primer, the surface sandblasted, and then covered with FOX BASEMOR FC205 repair mortar.
5
Tool and Equipment Cleaning
After application, tools and equipment used must be cleaned immediately with solvent.

Critical

FOX CARBOND systems must be applied by specialist applicators.

Important

Care should be taken to prepare only as much material as can be used within the working time.

Critical

The surfaces to be applied must be sound, dry, load-bearing, dust-free and clean. The surface must be thoroughly cleaned of all oil, grease, rust and paraffin residues that could weaken adhesion.

Important

Prior to application, the plate must be cut and prepared to the dimensions specified in the project.

Important

In areas where protection from sunlight is required, FOX EPOTHANE® PRIMER should be applied as a primer, the surface sandblasted, and then covered with FOX BASEMOR FC205 repair mortar.

Important

After application, tools and equipment used must be cleaned immediately with solvent.

Important

Store in original unopened packaging in a cool, dry environment, protected from frost. For short-term storage, stack no more than 3 pallets high and dispatch on a first-in, first-out basis. For long-term storage, pallets must not be stacked on top of one another.

Critical

It is dangerous to approach storage and application areas with open flame. Storage and application areas must be ventilated.

Important

During application, appropriate work clothing, protective gloves, goggles and a mask must be worn in accordance with occupational health and safety regulations.

Critical

During storage and application, contact with skin and eyes must be avoided; if contact occurs, wash immediately with plenty of water and soap; if swallowed, seek medical attention immediately.

Important

Food and beverages must not be brought into application areas. Store out of reach of children.

Information

The above technical values are given at +23°C and 50% relative humidity. Higher temperatures shorten the time; lower temperatures extend it.

Information

When stored correctly at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, between +5°C and +30°C, there is no limitation on shelf life.
