ZOLTEK fabrics are widely used in the repair and upgrading of concrete structures, including bridges, columns, and beams. Our ZOLTEK PX35 carbon fiber significantly enhances load-bearing capabilities, reducing strain on infrastructure. This provides cost and scheduling benefits through minimally invasive repair methods and utilizes non-corrosive materials with exceptional fatigue performance. These fabrics are saturated with epoxy and applied to concrete structures using a wet layup process. Together with appropriate saturating resins, these fabrics form fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) systems, ensuring durable and effective structural reinforcement.
Civil Engineering Products
- PX35 Uni-Directional Fabric – ZOLTEK’s Uni-Directional Fabric is specially designed with unique fiber spreading techniques, enabling a wide range of fabric weights and constructions ideal for composite part applications, particularly in infrastructure projects. Constructed for enhanced infusibility, this fabric facilitates a rapid build-up of part thickness, ensuring robust and efficient structural reinforcement.
- PX35 Pultruded Profile – Pultruded profiles are production-ready carbon composites designed for infrastructure applications. These pre-cured, thick-ply carbon fiber laminates are ideal for structural reinforcement. Available in various thicknesses and complex shapes, our pultrusion products offer optimized properties with high fiber volumes, nearly zero void content, and precise filament alignment.
- Chopped & Milled Carbon Fiber – ZOLTEK’s chopped and milled carbon fiber solutions provide excellent foundations for composites aimed at enhancing civil engineering applications. Available in various forms, our goal is to determine how the unique properties of each carbon fiber type can enhance the final product’s performance for specific end-uses in civil engineering.
