Carbon Fiber Bars

GeoTree RenewWrap NSM CFRP Bars are pre-cured carbon fiber bars designed to be used in near surface mount (NSM) strengthening applications. RenewWrap CF bars are manufactured with a grit surface to promote adhesion with the bonding resin.

RenewWrap NSM CFRP Bars may be used to strengthen or retrofit a wide range of concrete and masonry structures. They are most commonly used where traditional wet lay-up FRP systems are not suitable or where the FRP reinforcement requires additional protection from abrasion or vehicular traffic.

NSM carbon fiber bars are used for strengthening existing structural members (concrete, wood, stone or masonry) in flexure and shear. Structures that are deficient due to either a structural flaw, deterioration or because of a change in use can often be brought to a useful capacity using NSM bars.
