Zero binders and no harmful processing emissions
Sustainable Manufacturing Revolution
kelteks FreeMat's binder-free technology eliminates chemical adhesives entirely, creating a cleaner workplace and manufacturing process. The pure glass composition maximizes adhesion and compatibility with all standard resin systems.
Optimize Resin Performance
The open structure of continuous fibers dramatically improves resin penetration, ensuring complete and uniform wet-out. This reduces overall resin consumption by up to 20%, lowers final component weight, and accelerates production cycles.
Structural Superiority
With 100% glass fiber construction, kelteks FreeMat delivers exceptional tensile and flexural strength. Continuous glass strands enhance stiffness and impact resistance, substantially extending composite structure lifespan.
Perfect Form Adaptation
The flexible mat conforms effortlessly to complex geometries without wrinkling or fiber breakage. The stable fiber structure maintains integrity during resin infusion, eliminating common defects in finished components.
Enviriomental Resilience
Composites reinforced with kelteks FreeMat exhibit outstanding longevity even in extremely challenging conditions, with resistance to moisture, chemicals, and corrosion that significantly outperforms conventional reinforcements.

frequently asked questions
Yes, in cases where steel reinforcement has corroded, solidian GRID can serve as a substitute for structural reinforcement. The existing corroded steel can remain in place and be covered with a new layer of carbon-reinforced mortar, restoring structural integrity.
When combined with high-quality mortars, solidian GRID significantly enhances the overall durability of the system, providing a robust solution for demanding environments.
Yes, solidian GRID strikes a balance between stiffness and flexibility, allowing it to be applied to curved surfaces with diameters greater than 800mm.
The lightweight nature of solidian GRID facilitates easy transportation, even through sewage tunnels, and simplifies the installation process, reducing labor and equipment requirements.
Yes, a certified Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is available for both solidian GRID and solidian REBAR. The EPD provides transparent and verified information about the environmental impact of these products throughout their life cycle, supporting sustainability assessments in construction projects.
Yes, solidian GRID has obtained the General Building Approval (abZ) from the German Institute for Building Technology (DIBt). This approval authorizes its use as carbon reinforcement grids in construction, ensuring compliance with national building standards.
solidian GRID is versatile and works with a range of binders, including Portland Cement, Calcium Aluminate Cements, and Geopolymer Cements.
solidian GRID holds German Approval as reinforcement for EN 206 concretes, supporting its compatibility with various mortar systems, including those adhering to DIN 19573.
Concrete layers reinforced with solidian GRID can be as thin as 20mm, as no additional concrete cover is needed to protect the reinforcement from corrosion.
Yes, solidian GRID can be applied as an additional layer over existing steel-reinforced concrete. When combined with solidian ANTICRACK, it offers enhanced crack-limiting properties, providing extra protection to the underlying steel reinforcement.
Classified under XWW4, solidian GRID ensures long-term performance for over 50 years, making it a durable choice for long-term infrastructure projects.
solidian GRID is fully resistant to severe acidic conditions, including environments with pH levels as low as 0. It has successfully passed tests in accordance with DIN 19573 standards for pH 0 and pH 1.
solidian GRID enables the design of thinner concrete layers (greater than 20mm) without requiring additional concrete cover for reinforcement protection. This reduction in material usage leads to lower resource consumption and a diminished environmental footprint, supporting more sustainable construction practices.
