Sika’s carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) plates provide reliable, high-performance solutions for structural strengthening in buildings, bridges and other load-bearing structures. These advanced systems combine CFRP plates and rods with structural epoxy resin adhesives to deliver exceptional flexural strength and long-term durability. Ideal for strengthening beams, ceilings and walls, Sika CFRP systems ensure efficient reinforcement for both static and dynamic loads.
Advantages of Sika’s CFRP Structural Strengthening Systems
- Tested durability under demanding conditions to ensure long-term structural performance in various applications and environments.
