SikaWrap-601 C IN
India-grade woven unidirectional carbon fabric for external structural reinforcement
Product Overview
SikaWrap-601 C IN is an India-manufactured, woven unidirectional carbon fibre fabric used for the externally bonded reinforcement (EBR) of structural members. The high-strength carbon filaments run in the 0 degree direction, while a small proportion of heat-set glass weft holds the weave stable during handling and wet lay-up. Saturated on site with Sikadur epoxy, the dry fabric transforms into a stiff carbon-fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminate that adds tensile capacity exactly where a column, beam or slab needs it. Engineers specify it to raise flexural, shear and axial capacity, to improve seismic ductility, and to compensate for corroded or under-designed steel. It suits concrete, brickwork, masonry and timber. Space Arc Engineering, an authorized Sika project distributor in India, supplies SikaWrap-601 C IN with the matched primer and laminating resins for complete strengthening systems.
Features & Benefits
- Unidirectional 600 g/m² carbon weave delivers very high tensile capacity along the fibre direction for targeted load addition
- Extremely thin 0.33 mm laminate adds strength without altering member size or adding significant dead load
- Conforms to round columns, square corners and curved soffits, allowing wrapping of complex geometries on site
- Non-corroding carbon reinforcement is unaffected by moisture and chloride attack, unlike supplementary steel
- Heat-set weft keeps fibres straight and the fabric square during impregnation for consistent laminate quality
- Compatible Sikadur primer and saturant complete a proven, code-referenced CFRP strengthening system
Technical Highlights
| Coverage | Primer/first layer approximately 0.8 to 1.2 kg/m², subsequent layers 0.5 to 0.8 kg/m², and fabric impregnation 0.4 to 0.6 kg/m²; verify against project lay-up and refer to TDS. |
| Strength | Dry-fibre tensile strength about 4,900 N/mm², tensile modulus around 250,000 N/mm² and elongation at break near 2.1%. |
| Performance | Functions as the tensile reinforcement of a field-formed CFRP laminate, boosting flexural, shear and axial-confinement capacity once cured with Sikadur epoxy. |
| Application Conditions | Substrate must offer a minimum pull-off tensile strength of 1.0 N/mm² and be clean, sound and free of laitance; refer to TDS for surface preparation. |
| Packaging | Roll width 500 mm with a minimum length of about 50 m per roll, supplied in a cardboard carton. |
Applications
- Seismic retrofit of RC columns in bridges and elevated corridors to add confinement and ductility
- Flexural and shear strengthening of beams and slabs in industrial plants carrying revised equipment loads
- Upgrading commercial floor slabs for change of use, such as office to records storage with higher live loads
- Reinforcing masonry walls and lintels in heritage and residential buildings against cracking and out-of-plane forces
- Restoring capacity of corrosion-damaged RC members in coastal and water-treatment structures

Frequently Asked Questions
What is SikaWrap-601 C IN used for?
It is a unidirectional carbon fibre fabric used for externally bonded reinforcement of concrete, masonry and timber. Saturated with Sikadur epoxy, it forms a CFRP laminate that increases flexural, shear and axial capacity and improves seismic performance of beams, columns and slabs.
Which epoxy resins are used with SikaWrap-601 C IN?
It is applied as part of the wet lay-up system with Sikadur-330 IN as the primer/levelling resin and Sikadur-300 IN as the impregnating and laminating resin. Always follow the system specification and the product TDS.
What surface preparation does SikaWrap-601 C IN need?
The substrate should be sound, clean and laitance-free with a minimum pull-off tensile strength of about 1.0 N/mm². Concrete is typically ground and dust-removed; refer to the TDS for full preparation and any required filling of voids.
How many layers of SikaWrap-601 C IN can be applied?
The number of plies depends on the structural design and required capacity, and multiple layers can be built up. The exact lay-up must be defined by the strengthening designer; refer to the TDS for consumption per layer.
