TORAYCA™ pultruded laminates are made by arranging carbon fibers in the same direction and impregnating them with epoxy resin. The resulting material is then molded and hardened to form plates that can be used as repair and reinforcement materials for civil engineering and construction projects. TORAYCA™ laminates can be attached to concrete surfaces in existing structures with adhesives, making them ideal for use restricted spaces where bulky machinery and equipment would be impractical. We have established the CFRP Laminate Systems Research Group to promote the use of TORAYCA™ laminates and improve the technology.
Lightweight
Manual application means there is no need for heavy machinery. There is only a minimal increase in load after reinforcement.
Striping
Easier surface preparation (area, powder dust, trash) and a shorter construction period.
Easy to Handle
TORAYCA™ pultruded laminates can be applied to existing concrete structures without the need for bulky machinery, making them ideal for structural repairs where space is limited.
Minimal Increase in Section (Approx. 2 to 5 mm)
It only has a minimal impact on space where used (reduced area, volume and height).
