Technical Details & Test Data
- Limitations
The installed system acts as a vapor barrier. Concrete should not be fully encapsulated in areas of freeze/thaw.
- Competitive Testing and Additional Physical Testing
Competitive Testing - V2 Structural Systems takes its performance values very seriously and commits to its unique performance in each properly installed application. The following chart compares commercially available data with performance values (both typical and design) for StructureWrap V2 190 UC versus commonly available carbon reinforcement systems. Note that the StructureWrap V2 190 UC Design and Typical values exceed the standard values of all competitive products in the industry.
Accelerated Aging – V2 Structural Systems is aware of the rigorous and abusive environments that it’s products are expected to perform in. Every environment can not be specifically tested but V2tests each of it’s systems in the harshest environments available in laboratory conditions. V2 also extends its aging process well beyond the required limits of performance. The chart below describes the change in tensile stress upon aging for the described hours in the specified conditions. Note that even after 3,000 hours in the cruelest environments that the V2 strengthening system does not even draw near to the Design Value that we stand behind.
Safety & Health
