Endless Possibilities
C4R made by ACTION COMPOSITES is a reinforcement bar that consists of corrosion-resistant high-strength carbon fibers, which are embedded in high-temperature-resistant special epoxy resin.

Lightweight and strong
In an industrial process, the bars are manufactured continuously with an optimized groove-helix design. In addition to the significantly higher tensile strength compared to reinforcing steel, C4R stands out by a significant mass saving of up to 80% compared to its steel equivalent. Moreover, the bond stress achieves top values, which were determined in a concrete pull-out procedure and are significantly higher than comparable fiber-reinforced reinforcement bars.

Carbon fibre
-
Carbon fibers are used in aviation for state-of-the-art jets. We carry these powerand capacities forward to the building industry.Our reinforcement bars consist of carbon fibres that feature superior strength and corrosion properties. Thus they facilitate completely new construction techniques using carbon concrete.

Corrosion Resistance
-
Our reinforcement bars consist of carbon fibers that feature superior strength and corrosion properties. Thus they facilitate completely new construction techniques using carbon concrete.
-
Stylishness
-
Making use of C4R reinforcement technology has triggered architectural and design processes that were previously not feasible. Thin concrete covers enable lean, organic and stylish designs.
-
Automation
-
C4R carbon bars are produced in a highly automated industrial manufacturing process. Monitoring the process steps in making the C4R carbon bars according to the highest quality standards is a matter for us. In this course, we rely on the profound expertise and unique experiences of our employees. In terms of automation and quality, our C4R carbon bars are in no way inferior to high-tech automotive components.

Fire prevention & control
-
Our C4R materials stand out by their particularly high temperature resistance compared toother fiber-reinforced bars made of carbon or glass fiber. First experiences regarding their firebehavior have already been gathered and make us feel optimistic.

Through its durable and flexible characteristics Carbon concrete portrays a resource saving alternative to reinforced concrete by saving up to 50% of materials. The lightweight, as well as easy formability provide the basis for a large amount of design possibilities. Even extensive cage structures can be set up much better due to the smaller handling masses. The world’s first building with C4R carbon concrete is the CUBE at the TU Dresden.
