The use of externally bonded CFRP laminates is derived from the practice of steel plate bonding. The lighter weight and greater tensile strength of the CFRP laminate greatly reduce the overall installation costs as compared to steel plate bonding techniques.

• Aslan 400 CFRP Laminates are furnished with guaranteed physical and mechanical properties based on the CFRP composite and not on the fiber properties alone. The laminate is manufactured at the factory in a controlled and consistent environment.
• Structural strengthening with Aslan 400 Laminates enables the change in use or structural upgrading of a member. Externally bonded CFRP laminates are a less costly alternative to section enlargement, steel plate bonding or bracing.
• Damaged or deteriorated structural members can be repaired and many additional years of service life added to the structure.
• Structural capacity of the member can be improved
  or repaired without significantly altering
  the appearance of the element.
  

Aslan 400 is available in three standard widths.

• 1.4mm X 50mm(.055” X 2”)
• 1.4mm X 75mm (.055” X 3”)
• 1.4mm X 100mm (.055” X 4”)

Made from 700ksi, 33Msi carbon fiber, approximately 70% by weight in an Epoxy resin matrix.

One side of the laminate is sanded to allow for bond of the structural adhesive.

The 3”(75mm) and 4”(100mm) wide versions are furnished in continuous lengths in spools that are 300ft (90m) long. The 2” wide (50mm) version is in 250ft (75m) spools.
