Textile-reinforced concrete for high- stability lightweight construction

Construction material of the future – light weight, high stability, sustainable
In order to build stable concrete elements based on textile structures, the carbon or fibre-glass matrix must be drenched with a special coating that, on the on hand, stiffens the supporting matrix and, on the other hand, facilitates its bonding with the cement. CHT has the innovative know-how to develop these chemical coatings. Many years of application expertise provides the basis for the realization of customized construction designs with tailor-made material features using this technology.

Textile-reinforced concrete facilitates highly stable, lightweight construction and offers many advantages over conventional concrete – above all for the environment:

Reduction in the amount of concrete by up to 30 % due to the use of glass, carbon and basalt fibers for the reinforcement
Elimination of corrosion protection measures
Low water and energy consumption
Reduction of CO₂ emissions by 50 % due to cement savings
