Sika® CarboDur® BC
PULTRUDED CARBON FIBRE RODS FOR STRUCTURAL STRENGTHENING AS PART OF THE SIKA® CARBODUR® SYSTEM
Sika® CarboDur® BC rods are pultruded carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates with a circular cross section, designed for strengthening concrete, timber and masonry.
Sika® CarboDur® BC rods are bonded into slots as near surface mounted reinforcement using Sikadur®-330 or Sikadur®-30 epoxy resin based adhesives for normal application temperatures. Sikadur®-300 epoxy resin based adhesive is used for horizontal applications.
Sika® CarboDur® BC rods can also be used for anchoring SikaWrap® fabrics where positive attachment to concrete or masonry is required.
Please refer to the relevant Product Data Sheet for more detailed information about each of the adhesives.
