Carboniar^® is a concrete structural reinforcement system applied mainly in the concrete repairs. It is a reinforcement system against bending and shearing stresses, and for wrapping, consisting of carbon fiber tapes and epoxy resins specifically blended for each type of use.

Carboniar^® can be applied on historical brick, stone or wooden structures or on reinforced concrete buildings. It consents consolidation of damaged structures or prevention of seismic damage; it also consents improvement of ductility within a very short time, minimizing obstructions, so that the structure can often still be used with works in progress.

Carboniar^® also consents the recovery of old buildings and upgrading against fatigue

• On arches, vaults, walls, domes, columns, architraves, wooden beams, floorings and chimneys in historical building.
• On beams, slabs and columns in buildings of reinforced concrete.
• On all motorway, railway and marine structures.

• Extremely reduced weight of the reinforcement (typically 1% of the structure's own weight).
• 1 mm finished thickness.
• Easy conformability to all surfaces, thanks to easy draping of carbon fiber tapes.
• Excellent resistance in humid environments.
• Long lasting components, resistant to chemicals and to corrosion.
• Accurate quality control: each batch is covered by its Test Report.
