CABKOMA Strand Rod (thermoplastic carbon fibre composite rods)

key features

Composites elements: CABKOMA lightweight, thermoplastic carbon fibre composite strand rod designed for seismic protection.

Why composites: a composite strand rod overs benefits over traditional materials like steel due to its superior strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, ease of installation, and reduced environmental impact.

Weight

CABKOMA Strand Rods are significantly lighter than traditional materials. A 160-meter roll weighs approximately 14 kg and can be easily carried by hand, whereas metal wires of equivalent strength are about five times heavier.

Cost

The lightweight nature of CABKOMA Strand Rods simplifies handling and installation, potentially reducing labor costs and construction time.

Strength

Despite their lightness, these rods offer exceptional tensile strength, surpassing that of traditional steel reinforcement.

Durability

Unlike steel, CABKOMA Strand Rods are resistant to corrosion, making them suitable for use in environments where steel would be prone to rust.

Maintenance

The corrosion-resistant properties of CABKOMA Strand Rods lead to a decrease in maintenance requirements over time, as they are less susceptible to environmental degradation.

LCA/Environmental Impact

The reduced weight of CABKOMA Strand Rods leads to lower transportation emissions. Additionally, their durability and reduced need for maintenance contribute to a decreased environmental impact over the building's lifespan. The are also fully recyclable, contributing to circularity.
