MBRACE MBar 

MBRACE MBar is a ready to use pultruded carbon fibre rod, which provides a high tensile strength (that is higher than steel reinforcement used in the concrete industry) and can be used for flexural reinforcement of concrete, masonry and timber elements.

MBRACE MBar is recommended to replace or augment steel reinforcement in concrete structures.  To add reinforcement to timber and masonry elements.  Suitable for NSM (near surface mounted reinforcement) of structures.
Ideal when the cover of the steel bars is very low, as MBar does not corrode.

Can be used for slim or narrow architectural concrete

• Reduce deformation under working loads (increase in rigidity)
• Increase the load-bearing capacity (e.g. structural conversion following a change in capacity load)
• Increase the fatigue strength
• Improve the performance of cracked structures (increase in durability)
• MBar is supplied with peel ply, which gives better protection during handling and improved adhesion to the substrate
• Can be buried in the structure
• Ideal for use in historical structures
• MBar enables the amount of reinforcment to be calculated in relation to the performance required or the stress flow
• Allows faster installation, thereby reducing costs
• Increases the durability of the structure by protecting it against the agressive action of chlorides and freezing and thawing cycles
