SikaWrap®-600 C WV

Woven, unidirectional, high-strength carbon fibre fabric with a fibre area density of 600 g/m2, designed for structural strengthening applications

SikaWrap®-600 C WV is an unidirectional woven carbon fibre fabric. It is part of the SikaWrap® composite strengthening system. The Product is made of high-strength carbon fibres with an area density of 600 g/m2. The fabric is designed for installation using the wet application process.

  • Very cost effective in comparison to traditional strengthening techniques
  • Fast application increases productivity, saves time and reduces disruption
  • Enables upgrading of a structure to comply with current standards
  • Improves the service life of a structure
  • Manufactured with thermo-welded weft fibres to keep the fabric stable
  • Multifunctional fabric for use in many different strengthening applications
  • Flexible and accommodating to different surface planes and geometry (such as beams, columns, chimneys, piles, walls, soffits and silos)
  • Low density for minimal additional weight

Usage

SikaWrap®-600 C WV is used as a reinforcement fabric for externally bonded structural strengthening systems on concrete, masonry and wooden substrates. Externally bonded structural strengthening systems are used for:
  • Increasing the flexural and shear loading capacity of elements and structures
  • Enhancing the load-carrying capacity or ductility of structural members in compression
  • Replacing missing steel reinforcement  
  • Structural upgrading of weak concrete elements or structures
  • Improving impact resistance
  • Passive strengthening for seismic event protection
Please note:
  • A specialist structural engineer must be consulted for any structural strengthening design calculation.

Application steps

SUBSTRATE QUALITY

Tensile adhesion strength of the substrate must be a minimum of 1.0 N/mm2 or as specified in the strengthening design. If necessary, verify this by applying a test area first.

Refer to the relevant SikaWrap® Method Statement for further information.

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

Clean and prepare concrete to achieve a laitance-free, contaminant-free, open-textured surface.

Refer to the relevant SikaWrap® Method Statement for further information.

 

APPLICATION

IMPORTANT

Application by trained personnel

The application of this Product must only be carried out by an applicator that is trained or approved by Sika. The applicator must also be experienced in this type of application.

IMPORTANT

Strictly follow installation procedures

Strictly follow installation procedures as defined in Method Statements, application manuals and working instructions which must always be adjusted to the actual site conditions.

IMPORTANT

Do not interchange different system components

SikaWrap® fabrics are coated to ensure maximum bond and durability with the Sikadur® adhesives, impregnating and laminating resins. To maintain and ensure full system compatibility, do not interchange different system components.

  1. IMPORTANT Never fold the fabric. Cut the fabric with special scissors, a razor knife or a box-cutter knife.
  2. Apply the SikaWrap fabric using the wet application process. Refer to 850 41 03 Method Statement SikaWrap® manual wet application.

OVERCOATING SIKAWRAP® FABRICS

SikaWrap® fabrics can be overcoated with a cementitious overlay or other coatings for aesthetic or protective purposes. The selection of the overcoating system depends on the exposure and project-specific requirements.

For additional protection from UV light in exposed areas, use one of the following:

  • Sikagard®-550 W Elastic

  • Sikagard®-675 W ElastoColor

  • Sikagard®-680 S Betoncolor

  • Sikagard®-5500
