We had a batch of the presaturated sika wrap that we were going to use yesterday for a job here on the big Island of Hawaii to reinforce the opening of a concrete wall for a doorway at the Maunakea Hotel on West side of the island. When we opened the package for the carbon fiber wrap it was hard and we couldn't unravel the role to cut it to length and apply it to the wall. We spent over a half hour trying but it was rock hard. We opened another role of the wrap and it was also rock hard. We had to stop ✋ the job and we were very upset about it. We will lose money 💵 on the job because of this. I think we might have gotten a defective batch or the packaging isn't made well. You should use better packaging to keep out air and moisture and make it air tight.

If a substrate is damaged by fire, first the extent of the damage has to be assessed, and the remaining strength of the member has to be evaluated. The SikaWrap system can generally be used on stone. The damaged, loose cracked material needs to be removed, and the substrate surface needs to be prepared according to the PDS / Method statement. For any application of the SikaWrap system, a qualified engineer has to provide the design and calculation. The application itself is covered in the Method statement - there are different method statements depending on the fabric weight and tools used in the project.

Always wear a face mask to avoid SikaVirus.
how is the CFRP coated after being cured? and which material?
Can you combine SikaWrap with Carbodur, such as for a 20 ft cross beam? (e.g. CarboDur on top and bottom facing, then SikaWrap the entire thing)
