SikaWrap Hex 230C

Carbon fiber fabric for structural strengthening


Description SikaWrap Hex 230C is a unidirectional carbon fiber fabric. Material is field laminated using Sikadur 300, Sikadur Hex 300/306 or Sikadur 330 epoxy to form a carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) used to strengthen structural elements.

Packaging

Rolls: 12 in. x 150 ft. 24 in. x 150 ft. Surface must be clean and sound. It may be dry or damp, but free of standing water and frost. Remove dust, laitance, grease, curing compounds, impregnations, waxes, foreign particles, disintegrated materials, and other bond inhibiting materials from the surface. Consult Sikadur 300, Sikadur Hex 300/306 and Sikadur 330 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 (ACI 503R) at the discretion of the engineer. Minimum tensile strength, 200 psi (1.4 MPa) with concrete substrate failure.

Preparation Work: Concrete - Blast clean, shotblast or use other approved mechanical means to provide an open roughened texture. In certain applications and at the engineers discretion, the intimate contact between the substrate and the fabric may be determined to be non-critical. In these cases, a thorough cleaning of the substrate using low pressure sand or water blasting is sufficient. Mixing Consult Sikadur 300, Sikadur Hex 300/306 orSikadur 330 technical data sheets for information on epoxy resins. SikaWrap Hex 230C can be applied using wet or dry lay-up methods. Dry Lay-Up: Apply the mixed Sikadur 330 epoxy resin directly onto the substrate at a rate of 40-50 ft.2/gal. (32-40 mils), depending on the surface profile. Carefully place the fabric into the resin with gloved hands and smooth out any irregularities or air pockets using a plastic laminating roller. Allow the resin to squeeze out between the rovings of the fabric. If more than one layer of fabric is required apply additional Sikadur 330 at a rate of 100ft.2/gal. (16 mils) and repeat as above. Apply a final coat of Sikadur 330 to the exposed surface at a rate of 160ft.2/gal. (10 mils).

Wet Lay-Up: Seal the prepared concrete surface using Sikadur 300, Sikadur Hex 300 or Sikadur Hex 306. Material may be applied by spray, brush or roller. SikaWrap Hex 230C can be impregnated using either the Sikadur 300, Sikadur Hex 300 or Sikadur Hex 306 epoxy. For best results, the impregnation process should be accomplished using an automated saturator. Once saturated, apply fabric to the sealed concrete surface and smooth out any irregularities or air pockets using a plastic laminating roller. If required, apply additional layers of fabric while epoxy on previous layer is still tacky. For overhead or vertical applications, prime concrete with Sikadur 330 to improve tack. Saturate fabric with Sikadur 300, Sikadur Hex 300 or Sikadur Hex 306. Coat the exposed surface of final fabric layer using Sikagard 670W or Sikagard 62. Installation of SikaWrap Products should be performed only by specially trained approved contractors. Cutting SikaWrap Fabric can be cut to appropriate length by using a commercial quality heavy duty scissor. Since dull or worn cutting implements can damage, weaken or fray the fiber, their use should be avoided. Consult MSDS for proper handling procedures.

Caution

SikaWrap fabric is non-reactive. However, caution must be used when handling since a fine carbon dust may be present on the surface. Gloves must therefore be worn to protect against skin irritation. Caution must also be used when cutting SikaWrap fabric to protect against airborne carbon dust generated by the cutting procedure. Use of an appropriate, properly fitted NIOSH approved respirator is recommended.
