Main uses

Nitoplate CP is a system of high-quality carbon fibres, pre-laminated into dense, unidirectional plates. They are adhered using Nitoplate CPA30 thixotropic adhesive, making them ideal for overhead applications on beams and slabs. Typical applications include, but are not limited to, dynamic and dead load increases, seismic strengthening and repairing structurally damaged concrete. Nitoplate CP may be used on civil structures and buildings.

Advantages

• Improves flexural strength capacity
• High tensile strength and elastic modulus
• Non-intrusive
• Corrosion resistance with high life expectancy
• Rapid installation provides cost savings, rapid return to service and minimal disruption to surrounding works
• Lightweight system reduces requirement for heavy supporting equipment and adds negligible additional load
• Pultrusion process increases density making strengthening of narrow sections possible
• Thixotropic resin adhesive makes overhead working easier.
• Typically low build reducing effects on structural dimensions and clearance
• No pre-fabrication required, can cut to size on site
• Comes in varying strengths and thicknesses
