Kimitech PLATE
Pultruded carbon fibre plate for FRP interventions
Kimitech PLATE is a carbon fiber plate prepreg with epoxy resin. The pultruded plate, available in different widths, is suitable for the structural consolidation of works in r.c., prestressed r.c., wood, masonry and steel. It is particularly suitable for the plating of predominantly inflexible elements and for the binding of masonry systems.
Applications
Kimitech PLATE it is used for the structural reinforcement of beams and joists in r.c., wood and steel, for the consolidation or reinforcement of vaults and masonry elements in general. It must be applied (carrying out a thorough cleaning with Solvente EPOX, then a light sandpapering) by spreading the Kimitech EP-TX epoxy adhesive both on the substrate (previously primerized) and on the plate.

Application
For information on how to carry out each type of application, refer to the relative specifications and technical data sheets of the materials to be used. In reinforced concrete structures, clad surfaces with tensile strength greater than 1.5 Mpa. Apply Kimitech PLATE to cured concrete, perfectly dry, compact and dust free surfaces. Surfaces to be clad should be sandblasted to get rid of any trace of oil, paint, parting compounds and cement slurries. On surfaces with uneven sections greater than 1 mm in size, fill or apply a levelling coat using proper products (contact our Technical Dpt). Cut the sheet to the required length using a diamond cutting disc hand tool. Clean carefully with Solvente EPOX then smooth the surface of the plate to be laid with glass paper to remove any dust, oil or anything else which might interfere with bonding then apply an even 1-2 mm layer of Kimitech EPTX epoxy adhesive to this side (smooth side of plate) using a flat spreader; in the same way, apply a thin layer of adhesive to the substrate to be clad after applying a coat of suitable primer (see the specifications or contact our Technical Dpt). Lay the plate on the wet adhesive and press it evenly onto the substrate using a rubber roller to remove air pockets or bubbles. Once hardened, the rough side of the plate will be visible; fire-retardant and/or protection from atmospheric agents should be applied to this side (contact our Technical Dpt for advice of which protective products to use).
