Concrete cloth

Product Description

Concrete Cloth (CC) is an innovative material composed of a flexible aluminate cement powder-impregnated fabric that rapidly hardens upon hydration to form a thin, durable, waterproof,  The material is delivered in the form of rolls at various thicknesses which allows their placement without a need for a plant or mixing equipment. Their ease and rapid installation facilitate their use in a wide range of applications such as slope stability, ditch lining and fast deploying shelters to name a few. The typical concrete cloth consists of a three-dimensional fiber matrix, containing a dry concrete mix with backing by PVC on one surface of the cloth to make it waterproof. Hydrophilic fibers on the other surface support the hydration by drawing water into the cement. The canvas material can be hydrated by spraying or by kept immersed in water.

The concrete cloth has a vast scope of application such as in slope protection construction, mining, overlaying on underground pipelines, agriculture, Military application and much more. The primarily concrete cloth was invented for urgent applications for construction of shelters. The concrete cloth can be quickly and effortlessly nailed, stapled through or covered with a good quality adhesive for shelters, the pathway for vehicles or pedestrians and unlimited applications. Once set, this cloth covers the concrete, prevents the crack propagation & imparting a secure plastic failure mode.. The preparation of concrete cloth may also hamper the effective hydration process by shielding the cement powder from water, affecting the mechanical properties of hardened cloth.

Applications of Concrete Cloth

The unique structure of Concrete Cloth GCCM makes it easy to install for a variety of applications, such as channel lining, slope protection and containment. It can be hung vertically, laid in trenches or cut and formed into irregular shapes. Unlike regular concrete, Concrete Cloth materials can be installed in the rain and other wet conditions, which virtually eliminates project rescheduling. It has a low alkaline reserve and a low wash rate for a minimal ecological impact.
