CARBON KEVLAR COUNTERSUNK STAPLE

DESCRIPTION:

Fortress Stabilization Systems Countersunk Staples are the first commercially available crack control stitching systemd esigned to transfer load away from repair materials. The Staples are comprised of high tensile strength and modulus carbon fiber. The fibers are encapsulated in a thermal set resin and cured under pressure during manufacturing process. A peel-ply fabric is adhered to the strap; when removed it leaves a prepared bonding surface for adhesion to a prepared substrate. The typical staple is 10" long by .38" wide with 1" legs.

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
