After hydration, Concrete Cloth remains workable for 2 hours and hardens to 80% strength within 24 hours. Fast setting variants are in development.
Dry Concrete Cloth can be cut or tailored using simple hand tools. The PVC side can be supplied with an adhesive backing and bonds well to concrete or brick surfaces when set.
Concrete Cloth has good drape characteristics allowing it to take up the shape of complex surfaces including those with a double curvature.
The fibre reinforcement acts to prevent cracking, absorb energy from impacts and to provide a stable failure mode.
Concrete Cloth is a ceramic and will not burn.
The PVC backing on one surface ensures that Concrete Cloth is completely waterproof and chemically resistant.
Concrete Cloth is currently supplied on 1.1m wide rolls but can be manufactured with a roll width of up to 5m. The cloth can be produced in a range of thicknesses from 5-20mm.
Concrete Cloth is chemically resistant, has good weathering performance and will not degrade in UV.
