WFC-600
Carbon fiber sheet for structural strengthening
DESCRIPTION
Wolfix WFC-600 is a unidirectional carbon fiber fabric with high strength, high
modulus, etc. properties for structural strengthening. It can be applied in a dry
or wet lay-up process. It’s infiltrated with epoxy resin to form a carbon fiber
composite used in structural strengthening and retrofitting

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Substrate preparation
Surface must be clean and sound. It may be dry or damp, but free of stand-
ing water and frost. Remove dust, laitance, grease, curing compounds, Imp-
regnations, waxes, foreign particles, disintegrated materials, and other
bond inhibiting materials from the surface. Consult WF ER210, WFC-600
and WF ER330 technical data sheets for additional information on surface
preparation. Existing uneven surfaces must be filled with an appropriate
repair mortar. The adhesive strength of the concrete must be verified after
surface preparation by random pull-off testing at the discretion of the
engineer. Minimum bonding strength, 1.4 MPa with concrete substrate
failure.
Treatment
Cut sheets with normal scissors or electrical scissors, never bend the sheet in
the longitudinal direction. WFC-600 can be applied in a dry or wet “lay-up”
process. For details, please refer to the application manual for WFC-600.
Application tools

Carbon fiber sheet for structural strengthening
NOTICE
Strengthening work should be carried out by well-trained and experienced
specialists.
Smallest radius for reinforcement around corners: > 25 mm
In the fiber direction, the overlapping length must be at least 150 mm.
During application, observe the epoxy adhesive agent’s pot life (max. time
the substance may be left open).
FIRE PROTECTION
If necessary, WOFIX WFC-600 can be protected with fire protection plates.
Depending on the fire resistance requirements, there are various alternative
solutions. Please contact our technical services department.
