Sika® CarboDur® BC 6
6 mm pultruded carbon fibre rod for near-surface-mounted (NSM) structural strengthening
Sika® CarboDur® BC 6 is a pultruded, carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP), circular rod. It is used for near-surface-mounted (NSM) structural strengthening of concrete, timber and masonry. The rod is bonded and fully encapsulated into surface slots using a Sika® structural adhesive which is selected based on the design, application and environmental conditions. The rod is part of the Sika® CarboDur® System.
