What is Nitowrap CW?
Nitowrap CW is a high-strength carbon fiber fabric system designed for strengthening concrete structures. It is used in combination with epoxy resin to increase the load-bearing capacity of structures, particularly by enhancing flexural and shear strength. Its lightweight fabric can easily conform to corners and curved surfaces of structural elements.
Nitowrap CW Main Applications
Suitable for applications such as:
Increasing static and dynamic load-bearing capacity
Seismic strengthening of structures
Repairing structurally damaged concrete
Strengthening buildings and various civil engineering structures
Nitowrap CW Key Features
Enhances flexural load-bearing capacity
High tensile strength and modulus of elasticity
Minimal disruption to existing structures
Corrosion-resistant with a long service life
Fast installation, helping reduce downtime
Lightweight, adding minimal additional load to existing structures
Thin system profile, minimizing the impact on structural dimensions and clearance
No prefabrication required, allowing the fabric to conform to the shape of existing structures
Suitable for both Dry Wrap and Wet Wrap techniques
Available in various grades, strengths, and thicknesses
Surface Preparation
The concrete substrate must be:
Dry
Smooth
Free from debris and loose materials
Fully cured
Free from coatings
Free from impregnation treatments
Free from contaminants
Light grit blasting is recommended to remove materials that may reduce adhesion and create a suitable surface profile for mechanical bonding.
