Fabric-Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (FRCM) Composite

Fabric-Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (FRCM)

The new FRCM externally bonded Composite Strengthening System™ combines a high-performance sprayable cementitious matrix with a carbon-fiber grid to create a thin structural layer that will not add significant weight or volume to the existing structure.

Key Features

  • Can be applied in multiple grid layers (two maximum)
  • Lightweight system
  • Suitable for harsh environments or service conditions
  • Works on damp substrates

FRCM Common Applications

FRCM provides a low-impact, low-weight alternative to traditional concrete strengthening and retrofit methods.

Projects that also require a surface repair and leveling in addition to strengthening
Projects with large, overhead and vertical surface areas where higher production rates are possible with shotcrete material
Repair applications that cannot afford significant member enlargement
Composite strengthening applications that require an increased level of abrasion and fire resistance

FRCM Components

Carbon-Fiber Grid

The reinforcing fibers of the carbon grid provide all of the tensile strength and stiffness of the cured composite.

Cementitious Matrix

Instead of epoxy, the cementitious matrix is used to encapsulate the grid and to lock it in place.
