Kimitech CBA 320
"Range of carbon fibre reinforcement fabrics with different weights and textures for structural consolidation"
Kimitech CBA is a family of high modulus modulus carbon fiber reinforcement fabrics specific for structural consolidation. The product, suitably treated, can be finished with skim coatings, plasters, varnishes or with fire protection (in this case, contact our Technical Department).
Applications
Kimitech CBA fabrics are used for structural consolidations of r.c., steel, wood and masonry elements. They are particularly suitable for plating inflected elements, reinforce cut beams and partitions, confine pillars and, in general, to reinforce buildings.
Certifications
Kimitech CBA fabrics are part of Kimitech CB system which gained the Italian CVT n° 405.
Application
Please refer to the specifications and technical data sheets of the materials to be used depending on the kind of work to be performed. In the case of reinforced concrete structures, make the cladding on elements having a compressive strength higher than 15 MPa (par 4.8.1.1 CNR DT 200 R1 / 2013); in case of masonry surfaces, follow the instructions given in par. 5.8.1.1 of the CNR DT 200 R1 / 2013. To optimize the computational strength and overall reliability of the reinforcements we recommend using Kimitech FRP-LOCK mechanical anchorage system, patented and tested in the spirit of the indications provided by the DT 200 at parr. 4.8.1 and 5.3.5. Once the surface to be treated has been prepared, spread Kimitech EP-TX epoxy adhesive after applying a suitable primer (contact our Technical Dpt). Roll out the fabric and, using a special metal roller, exert a slight pressure on it; this favour a good adhesion of the fabric and will avoid dangerous formations of air bubbles. Apply Kimitech EP-IN or Kimitech CMP epoxy impregnant by brush.
