Sika CarboDur M

Sika® CarboDur® M plates are pultruded carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates, designed for strengthening concrete, timber, masonry, steel and fibre reinforced polymer structures. Sika® CarboDur® M plates are bonded onto the structure as externally bonded reinforcement using Sikadur®-30 epoxy resin based adhesive for normal, or Sikadur®-30 LP epoxy resin based adhesive for elevated temperatures during application and / or service. Please refer to the relevant Product Data Sheet for more detailed information about each of these adhesives.

Sika® CarboDur® systems are used to improve, increase or repair the performance and resistance of structures for:
Increased Load Carrying Capacity:
▪Increasing the load capacity of floor slabs, beams and
bridge sections
▪ For the installation of heavier machinery
▪ To stabilise vibrating structures
▪ For changes in building use
Damage to structural elements due to:
▪ Deterioration of the original construction materials
▪ Steel reinforcement corrosion
▪ Accidents (Vehicle impact, earthquakes, fire)
Improvement of serviceability and durability:
▪ Reduced deflection and crack width
▪ Stress reduction in the steel reinforcement
▪ Improved fatigue resistance
Change of the structural system:
▪ Removal of walls and / or columns
▪ Removal of floor and wall sections to create access / openingsResistance to possible events:
▪Increased resistance to earthquakes, impact or explosion etc.
To repair design or construction defects such as:
▪ Insufficient / inadequate reinforcement
▪ Insufficient / inadequate structural depth

▪ Non-corroding
▪ Very high strength
▪ Excellent durability and fatigue resistance
▪ Unlimited lengths, no joints required
▪ Low system thickness, simple execution of plate in-
▪ tersections or crossings
▪ Easy transportation (rolls)
▪ Lightweight, very easy to install, especially overhead (without temporary support)
▪ Minimum preparation of plate, applicable in several layers
▪ Smooth edges without exposed fibres as result of production by pultrusion
▪ Extensive Testing and Approvals available from many countries worldwide

Width of Sika® CarboDur® M / Typical consumption of Sikadur®-30*
50 mm 0.20 − 0.28 kg/m
60 mm 0.24 − 0.32 kg/m
90 mm 0.40 − 0.56 kg/m
100 mm 0.44 − 0.64 kg/m
120 mm 0.45 − 0.80 kg/m

*Note: Consumption is for standard application only. Rough or uneven substrate surfaces, plate crossings,
loss and wastage can lead to a higher adhesive consumption of up to 20 %
