properties of carbon cast concrete

The use of carbon fiber grid over conventional reinforcement yields a number of unique properties to CarbonCast components: [7]

Lower weight - When carbon fiber grid replaces steel mesh in the face of concrete products, manufacturers can use less concrete cover to protect the mesh from corrosive elements. Non-corrosive carbon fiber eliminates the need for extra concrete Improved thermal performance - The relatively low thermal conductivity of carbon fiber permits CarbonCast components to provide higher R-values than conventional precast concrete Improved strength - Carbon fiber is four times stronger than steel by weight providing better surface crack control when used as secondary reinforcing and 100% composite action when used as a truss in insulated wall panel Comparable cost - Many applications receive savings in foundation and super structure (reduced weight), energy costs (insulation) and maintenance (reduced corrosion
