Unidirectional CFRP fabric, 200–600 g/m², in high-strength Grade A (4,400–4,500 MPa mean tensile, 235–240 GPa) or Grade C (3,500–3,800 MPa, 230 GPa). Eight models, each with its own TDS; tested per ASTM D3039, designed per ACI 440.2R.
FSC is a unidirectional (0°), PAN-based carbon fiber fabric (also sold as carbon fiber wrap or CFRP sheet) for externally bonded strengthening of concrete, masonry and timber. Wet-laid with FSE 302 primer and FSE 322 saturant it forms a CFRP laminate. The values below are mean laminate values on a net-fiber-area basis (ASTM D3039); design with the characteristic values (mean − 3σ) given in the table and in each TDS.

Bonded to the tension face when loads increase (change of use, new equipment) or when reinforcement has corroded.
U-wraps or side bonding where the stirrups are insufficient, a common finding in older frames.
Full hoop wrapping raises axial capacity and ductility; the standard fix for seismic retrofit and overloaded columns.

After patch repair, wrapping restores the lost capacity of the section and slows re-cracking.
| Weight | Typical use | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| 200 / 230 g/m² | Flexural and shear strengthening of beams and slabs, usually 1–2 layers | Thin, easy to wet out |
| 300 g/m² | When the design asks for more capacity per layer | Slightly more resin per layer than 200 / 230; otherwise the everyday workhorse |
| 600 g/m² | Large areas, less labor per m² | More saturant per layer, and stricter rolling or you trap air |
| Grade | Fiber | When to choose it |
|---|---|---|
| Grade A | High-strength grade · 4,400–4,500 MPa / 235–240 GPa | When the design needs the higher characteristic strength (3,800–4,000 MPa) or fewer layers, or the tender specifies a fiber tensile strength of 4,400 MPa or more |
| Grade C | 3,500 MPa (600 g/m²: 3,800 MPa) / 230 GPa | General repair work where the design allows it and a characteristic strength of 3,200–3,300 MPa is enough — saves budget |
Both grades are woven the same way and handle the same on site; the difference is the fiber inside. Rolls come 100–600 mm wide and 100 m long (50 m for the 600 g/m² fabric) — matching the roll width to the member (200 mm strips for a beam soffit, say) saves cutting on site.
Values are mean laminate test values on a net-fiber-area basis (ASTM D3039). For design, use the characteristic values (mean − 3σ) in each TDS and apply the environmental reduction factor per ACI 440.2R or your local code.

Grind or blast back to sound concrete and remove laitance, dust and oil — the substrate needs a pull-off strength of at least 1.5 MPa and a moisture content of 4 % or less. Round external corners to a radius of at least 20 mm, and repair badly damaged sections first.
Fill voids and steps deeper than 0.5 mm so the fabric lies flat — every bump becomes an air pocket. Let the leveling adhesive cure before priming.
Roll on a thin coat of epoxy primer to seal the substrate and anchor the system to the concrete; carry on once it has reached a tacky state.
Spread the impregnating epoxy — FSE 322, the saturant — evenly over the primed area.
Roll it out along the fiber direction, then work the air out with a ribbed roller until resin strikes through the weave. Lap joints run along the fiber direction and are at least 100 mm long.
Wet out fully. Work between 5 and 35 °C; full cure takes 7 days at 20 °C. Broadcast sand into the wet resin, or add a protective coating, where a plaster finish or fire protection is required — and UV protection is mandatory for exterior work.
Made in China: the fabric is woven and tested at our production base in Shandong Province, and orders and shipping are handled by our export office in Shanghai. Factory audits are welcome.
The fiber. Grade A is the high-strength grade (4,400–4,500 MPa / 235–240 GPa, mean values on a net-fiber basis), Grade C is 3,500 MPa (3,800 MPa for 600 g/m²) / 230 GPa. Take A when the design needs the higher characteristic strength (3,800–4,000 MPa) or fewer layers, or when the tender specifies a fiber strength of 4,400 MPa or more; take C for general repair work where the design allows it. A Grade B (3,800 MPa) sits between the two and is supplied to order. We grade by tested laminate performance, not by a fiber trade name — the TDS gives the mean and characteristic values for each model.
Follow your strengthening design; the difference between weights is how much fiber one layer carries. Per layer (mean, net-fiber basis, from the TDS): 200 g/m² Grade A = 0.111 mm and 499 kN/m; 230 g/m² = 0.128 mm and 576 kN/m; 300 g/m² = 0.167 mm and 752 kN/m; 600 g/m² = 0.333 mm and 1,465 kN/m. So 300 g/m² carries about 50 % more per layer than 200 g/m² with the same fiber — fewer layers for the same design force. Use 200 / 230 g/m² when one thin, easy-to-wet layer is enough (typical beam and slab work), 300 g/m² when the design asks for more capacity per layer, and 600 g/m² for large areas where labor costs more than resin.
It depends on weight, grade and quantity — a 600 g/m² Grade A roll and a 200 g/m² Grade C roll are very different products. Send us the model and the quantity and you will have a quote the same day; fabric is priced by the roll (100 m standard, 50 m for 600 g/m²).
The minimum order is low: fabric from one roll (100 m standard, 50 m for 600 g/m²; a 500 mm × 100 m roll is 50 m²), adhesives from 30 kg. Standard products ship 3–5 days after order.

Dry fabric contains no resin, so there is no shelf-life limit: keep the rolls clean, dry and out of prolonged UV and they store long term. The epoxies are the time-sensitive part — check their TDS.
Yes — cut fabric samples are free on request, and if your lab wants to run its own tensile tests we can also supply ready-made ASTM D3039 test coupons. Send the model (or the two you are deciding between) and we will agree the piece size and shipping with you.
Small orders can go by air freight — about a week to the Middle East. Full-container orders go by sea as usual. Tell us the destination country with your enquiry.
Unidirectional. FSC runs all of its fiber in one direction (0°), so when the fabric is wrapped around a column 100 % of the fiber works in the hoop direction — the direction the confinement pressure in ACI 440.2R (Chapter 12) is calculated from. A bidirectional 0°/90° fabric of the same weight puts only half of its fiber in the hoop direction, so you pay for fiber that does no confinement work. Bidirectional fabric or a carbon grid (see our Carbon Fiber Mesh for FRCM) is the choice where the load direction is uncertain or two-way action is needed, such as slab openings and masonry walls.
