NextStar Carbon Fiber Concrete Stitch Kit
15 Pre-Tensioned carbon Fiber Concrete stitches and Epoxy kit
New Version 2022
The NextStar Concrete Stitch is comprised of high tensile strength carbon fibers that have been pre-tensioned during manufacturing. This makes it ideal for concrete wall crack reinforcement repair to provide the least movement and highest tensile support. typically used for concrete crack repair and reinforcement, concrete floors, foundation walls, swimming pools, and any poured concrete that needs reinforcement. Typically installed 12-24 inches apart, this stitch is stronger than traditional concrete staples, and is easy to install. This structural crack stitching and reinforcement system is a pre-impregnated, unidirectional pre-tensioned carbon fiber stitch for structural reinforcement for crack stitching. It is used usually in conjunction with Epoxy injection or other structural crack injection methods. The concrete stitch has more than twice the surface area compared to staples, which helps it create a stronger and more effective bond.

How strong are Carbon Fiber Stitches?
Carbon fiber is 10x stronger than steel. The holding strength of Carbon Fiber Stitches or even Stainless Steel Staples in concrete is a function of the surface bonding area and not so much the tensile capabilities of a stitch or staple. The concrete will fail before a staple will, So the best reinforcement is to have the most surface bonding area for long-term results.
What gives the best concrete stitching repair?
The product that has the most reinforcement has the most carbon surface area!
