Carbon Fiber Composite Cable (CFCC)
Light weight.
Non-corrosive.
Due to the exceptional properties of carbon fiber, CFCC® carbon fiber prestressing strand offers superior characteristics compared to other cables, including high tensile strength, high tensile modulus, lightweight, corrosion resistance, non-magnetic behavior, and low linear expansion. The innovative prestressing strand technology of CFCC® by Tokyo Rope International, with its stranded construction, ensures ease of handling and shaping.
Coiled on a reel, CFCC® is ideal for applications requiring long lengths, making it especially suited for the reinforcement of concrete structures like bridge construction. These features significantly enhance the service life of concrete structures, providing numerous benefits across various applications.
Product Features
- High tensile strength and high modulus of elasticity: The tensile strength of CFCC is higher and the modulus of elasticity is similar to steel
- Corrosion-free: The material is corrosion-resistant, completely resistant to acids, alkalis and chemicals and therefore particularly resistant in marine environments
- Lightweight and flexible: CFCC is easy to transport and install, can be wound onto a reel and weighs 20% less than steel
- Non-magnetic: CFCC does not interfere with communication and conveying systems, so no demagnetization process is required
- High fatigue resistance: The fatigue properties of CFCC are better than those of steel - an ideal product for engineering structures
- Easy handling during installation in the tensioning bed: CFCC can be attached directly to the existing tensioning systems using adapters. This eliminates the need for expensive investments

Product Applications
Versatile applications of CFRP strands in the construction industry
CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer) strands offer innovative solutions for a variety of prestressing methods and are indispensable in numerous construction projects. They can be used for bonded prestressing (both immediate and post-tensioning) as well as unbonded prestressing (internal and external). This flexibility makes them ideal for meeting a wide range of structural requirements.
Wide range of applications
CFRP strands are used in civil engineering structures and building construction. They are particularly suitable for load-bearing components such as bridges and bridge decks, tower segments, prestressed floors, and girders. Their high strength and corrosion resistance make them an excellent choice for demanding projects.
Durable performance – Even in challenging environments
The exceptional material properties of CFRP strands enable their use in a variety of environmental conditions. They can be applied everywhere, with significant advantages for structures located near the sea. Due to their high resistance to corrosion from salty air and water, CFRP strands are ideal for coastal projects, ensuring a durable, low-maintenance solution.
