Concrete Blanket : The Revolutionary Concrete Blanket for Modern Construction

Concrete  Blanket   is an innovative, flexible cement-impregnated fabric that hardens upon hydration to form a thin, durable, fire-resistant, and waterproof concrete layer. This advanced material combines the ease of use of textiles with the strength and durability of concrete, revolutionizing traditional construction methods for erosion control, slope protection, and various infrastructure projects.

Key Features and Benefits

• Rapid Deployment and Easy Installation: Concrete Blanket can be unrolled and positioned directly onto the ground or substrate. Activation requires only hydration with water, significantly reducing installation time and labor compared to conventional concrete pouring. No mixing or specialized equipment is needed.

• High Strength and Durability: Once hydrated, it forms a high-strength concrete layer (typical thicknesses of 5mm, 10mm, or 30mm) reinforced by the embedded 3D fiber matrix. This provides excellent resistance to cracking, weathering, and UV degradation.

• Superior Erosion and Slope Protection: Ideal for slope stabilization, channel lining, and riverbank reinforcement. Its structure prevents soil erosion while allowing vegetation to grow through, offering permanent protection.

• Waterproof and Fire-Resistant: The PVC backing provides immediate waterproofing, and the mineral-based composition offers inherent fire resistance.

• Environmentally Friendly: Often incorporates recycled materials and generates less waste due to on-demand cutting. Its production process is generally more efficient than traditional concrete, resulting in a lower carbon footprint.

• Versatility and Adaptability: Can be easily cut to custom shapes and sizes on-site, conforming to complex contours and geometries. Suitable for various applications from civil engineering to landscaping.

Technical Specifications

• Material Composition: A composite of a specialized dry concrete mix (typically based on calcium aluminate cement) reinforced with a three-dimensional matrix of polypropylene and polyethylene fibers. The underside is lined with a waterproof PVC layer.

• Available Thicknesses: Commonly 5 mm, 10 mm, and 30 mm.

• Standard Roll Sizes: Available in various widths and lengths for project flexibility.

• Packaging: Supplied in rolls, vacuum-packed for compact storage and transport.

• Color: Typically Gray (natural cement color).

Applications

Concrete Canvas is suited for many applications where speed, durability, and minimal environmental impact are crucial:

• Erosion Control: Slope protection, ditch linings, riverbank revetment.

• Earthworks and Infrastructure: Secondary containment, pipeline protection, foundation cover.

• Landscaping and Drainage: Weed control in landscaping, drainage channels.

• Emergency and Temporary Works: Rapid construction of pathways, shelter bases, and temporary hardstandings.

How It Works

1. Site Preparation: Level and compact the subsoil. Remove sharp objects or debris.

2. Deployment: Unroll the Concrete Canvas sheet over the prepared area.

3. Customization: Cut the material to the desired shape using utility knives or saws.

4. Hydration: Thoroughly soak the material with water, typically using a hose. The recommended water volume is approximately 1.5 liters per square meter for an 8mm thick sheet (adjust for thickness).

5. Curing: Allow the material to cure for 24 hours. It will initially set within 1-2 hours, becoming walkable, and reaches high strength within 28 days.

Why Choose Concrete  Blanket?

This product offers a paradigm shift in construction:

• Reduces Construction Time: Installs 10 times faster than traditional methods.

• Lowers Overall Costs: Saves on labor, equipment, and material waste.

• Enhances Safety: Minimizes on-site risks associated with heavy machinery and wet concrete.

• Provides Long-Term Performance: Creates a robust, low-maintenance, and durable surface.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: How long does it take for Concrete Blanket to harden?
A: It sets within 1-2 hours after hydration, is walkable after 24 hours, and continues to gain strength over 28 days.

Q: Can vegetation grow through Concrete  Blanket?
A: Yes, its porous nature allows vegetation to penetrate, reinforcing the structure naturally over time.

Q: Is it suitable for underwater applications?
A: Yes, it can be installed underwater. The PVC backing helps contain the cement paste during hydration.

Q: What is the shelf life?
A: When stored dry in its original packaging, it typically has a shelf life of about 12 months.

Q: How do I calculate the required amount of water?
A: A general guideline is 1.5 liters per square meter for an 8mm thick sheet. Always confirm with the manufacturer's specifications for your product variant.
