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...
