About CST

STRUCTURAL LAMINATES

The laminates are unidirectional Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) and can be used for reinforcement of concrete, metal, wood and masonry structural members.

These are available in a range of sizes from, 50, 75, 100, 120 and 150 wide varying in thickness from 1 to 4mm.

The manufacturing process utilises standard, intermediate and high modulus carbon fibre grades combined with an epoxy matrix.

Laminates are ready to use when combined with a suitable high strength adhesive.

View product data sheet for more information.

The product is ideal for any application where structural reinforcing is required. Some of the uses include:

Reinforcing of marine structures
Reinforcing members for wind turbine blades
Increasing the load bearing capacities of new and existing concrete, metal, wood and masonry structures and structural members
Increasing the flexural rigidity of new and existing structural members
Increasing the fatigue strength of new and existing structural members

CST structural laminates also offer advantages over the traditional re-enforcement methods through very high ultimate tensile strength, extremely high stiffness to weight ratio, high modulus of elasticity value and excellent fatigue and corrosion resistance.

Application is easy due to the lightweight of the products, allowing faster construction/maintenance and reducing costs.

The profiles can also be supplied with roughened peel ply finish giving excellent adhesion, and minimal substrate preparation required on site.
