Application of Basalt Fiber Plain Weave Fabric in Floor Crack Repair

Background

As buildings age, structural cracks have become a common and widespread issue. These cracks vary in type and form. Minor cracks not only affect a building's aesthetics and can lead to leaks, but more severe cracks can reduce the load-bearing capacity, stiffness, stability, integrity, and durability of the structure, potentially even leading to major quality incidents like total collapse. For minor cracks with low load-bearing requirements or small widths, basalt fiber plain weave fabric (BFRP) offers an economic and practical solution for reinforcement due to its superior cost-effectiveness.

Product Introduction

Basalt Fiber plain weave fabric is a textile woven from high-strength basalt fiber yarns in a plain weave pattern (where warp and weft yarns interlace over and under each other, one at a time). This fabric possesses exceptional properties such as non-flammability, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, high strength, and insulation. Basalt fiber plain weave fabric boasts an alkali resistance of ≥75%, is waterproof, fireproof, high-temperature resistant, has low moisture absorption, is acid and corrosion resistant, and is less prone to deformation.

Advantages

1. Compared to carbon Fiber Fabric, it offershigher elongationand better cost-effectiveness. It also has a thermal expansion coefficient closer to that of concrete, leading to better compatibility.
2. Possesses a comprehensive set of excellent properties including non-flammability, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, high strength, and insulation.
3. It is a green and environmentally friendly material.

Summary

It is crucial to promptly address building cracks, as they will continue to expand with prolonged use, ultimately endangering structural safety and human lives. Basalt fiber plain weave fabric is particularly well-suited for repairing cracks with low load-bearing requirements or non-structural cracks due to its:

• Economical Efficiency:More cost-effective compared to carbon fiber fabric.
• Simple Construction:Requires low technical expertise and can be operated by ordinary workers.
• Reliable Performance:Possesses excellent mechanical properties and weather resistance (corrosion resistance, non-flammability, etc.).
• Good Compatibility:Excellent compatibility with concrete due to a similar thermal expansion coefficient.
• Convenient and Aesthetic:Repaired surfaces can be directly painted and decorated, without affecting subsequent use.
