MBrace® CF130  

MBrace CF 130 is a dry fabric constructed of very high strength, aerospace grade carbon fibers. These fabrics are applied onto the surface of existing structural members in buildings, bridges, and other structures using the MBrace® family of performance polymers. The result is an externally bonded FRP (fiber reinforced polymer) reinforcement system that is engineered to increase the strength and structural performance of these members. Once installed, the MBrace System delivers externally bonded reinforcement with outstanding long-term physical and mechanical properties.

Features

• Excellent resistance to creep and fatigue
• Extremely durable
• Easy installation
• Low aesthetic impact

Benefits

• Can add significant strength to a structure without adding significant dead load
• Withstands sustained and cyclic load conditions
• Extremely resistant to a wide range of environmental conditions
• Can be installed quickly, even in areas of limited access
• Easy to conceal, will not significantly change existing member dimensions, will form around complex surfaces
