DESCRIPTION:
Carbon Kevlar Staples are the first commercially available crack control stitching system designed to transfer load away from repair materials. 6-80k carbon tows have a tensile strength of 6,600 psi and an elongation of 1%. Typical staple is 10" long by 1 1/2" wide with 1" legs. The carbon is running in 0 degree and kevlar is running 90 degrees crossweave.

ADVANTAGES:

• Installs in 5 minutes
• Can be installed at time of repair or injection
• Adds little cost to entire crack repair
• Staples can be used with various crack repair materials
• Elongation of FRP creates less creep and faster transfer of load stress than steel
