MasterBrace Laminates - Ready to use Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer laminates
How does MasterBrace Laminate work?
MasterBrace Laminate are ready to use pultruded carbon fiber laminates (plates) that provide high tensile strength for flexural reinforcement (plate bonding) of concrete, metal, wood and other construction materials.
Recommended uses:
- Increase the load-bearing capacity (e.g.
- structural conversion following a change in capacity load).
- Reduce deflection to structural elements
- (increase in rigidity).
- Increase fatigue resistance
- Limit or cover the fissuring (cracking) states (increase in durability)
What makes MasterBrace Laminate a unique solution?
MasterBrace Laminate is strong and sturdy laminate with fusion bonded peel-ply which makes it ideal for flexural strengthening of RCC members.
What are the features and benefits of MasterBrace Laminates?
- High strength to weight ratio – provides
- additional strength without adding to the ‘dead load’ of a structure
- Small profile – does not reduce overhead
- clearance in buildings or parking structures
- Available in a range of cross sections –
- allows for cost effective design
- Lightweight – easily applied using hand
- application techniques
- Fast curing adhesive – quick installation
- avoiding costly downtime of structures or
- buildings
- Simple installation – can be applied insitu to structures in use
