Fortress Stabilization Systems

The History of Carbon Fiber

Fortress Carbon Fiber reinforcement being applied to a South Jersey basement wall.Carbon fiber has been confined, until recently, to military and aerospace applications – or at least to places where cost was no object. Manufacturing carbon fiber is now much less expensive, since large quantities can be produced, and a wide variety of industries now take advantage of its incredible properties. Proven over the last 20 years, carbon fiber is durable, incredibly strong and safe. It does not mildew or rust, nor is it subject to alkali deterioration. Plus, once we lock the carbon fiber into an epoxy matrix, its strength is sealed in – it won’t creep, stretch or bend over time. Fortress Stabilization is dedicated to developing products that take advantage of this material and its incredible characteristics while retaining a simple, reliable application method.

Fortress Application Process

1.The wall is ground to prepare the surface for bonding.

2.Clean-Peel providing a clean textured wall for a superior bond. The fabric keeps the area uncontaminated until application of carbon fibre reinforcement.

3.Carbon reinforcement supports come complete with Clean-Peel backing. The backing provides a claen, textured bonding surface for a flawless epoxy bond.

4.Our Fortress system epoxy is applied to the wall using a static mixing tip to ensure a perfect mix ratio every time.

5.Epoxy penetrates the mesh fully encapsulating the carbon and eliminates air bubbles or resin voids.

6.Fortress system Vacuum clamping provides even pressure over the entire strip while the epoxy hardens to provide superior void free bonds.
