Unidirectional Carbon Fibre Fabric
Key Features & Advantages
Light Self-Weight (1:1)
Allows operation in narrow and tight spaces and has minimal impact on the normal use of the structure during construction, adding almost no additional weight to the existing structure.
Corrosion Resistant
Anti-acid alkali and other chemical corrosion and resistance to severe environments. TCI CS-U600 maintains uniform tension across each batch of raw fibre. With low dispersion, high strength, and stable properties, it has achieved a 100% qualification rate in national authority testing.
High Strength, High Modulus
Very effective in flexural strengthening in the form of straight sheets, shear strengthening in the form of closed loop wrapping, u-shaped and side bonding, increase ductility and strength of circular columns in the form of transverse wrapping.
High Temperature Resistant
Creep resistance under high permanent loads, high corrosion resistance and excellent seismic strengthening system.
Versatile for Structural Components
TCI CS-U600 can be used on various structural components and systems, e.g. concrete structures, masonry structures, wood structures, steel structures, and many other structural elements and systems.
Long Storage Life
Allows for long operation projects
and extended deadlines. TCI CS-U600 is made from premium international aviation-grade yarn, with each carbon fibre length exceeding 5,000 meters to ensure uninterrupted and undamaged fibre fabrication.
Typical Usage
CarbonStrong CS-U600 finds wide application in various scenarios. Here are some typical usages of CarbonStrong CS-U600:
