CONNECTOR Endless Rope
Fiber rope for flexible repair of different structural elements
solidian CONNECTOR Endless Rope is a non-corrosive, high-strength, AR glass, basalt or carbon fiber rope used as a mechanical anchor with the possibility of cutting on the desired length on the site.
solidian CONNECTOR Endless Rope enables load transfer between different structural elements and increases strength and ductility.
This chemical anchor, used in CRM, FRCM and FRP seismic retrofit systems, is designed for restoring old buildings with varying wall thicknesses. Unlike pre-impregnated anchors, this product offers flexibility on-site. Contractors determine the wall thickness, cut the necessary length, and dip the anchor in resin before application, ensuring a custom fit for each project.

Product Applications
solidian CONNECTOR Endless Rope is intended to be used as a mechanical anchor in composition with an inorganic matrix and chemical anchors as a reinforcement of existing and new masonry and concrete structures subject to static and dynamic loading.
Perfect for on-site impregnation in reinforcement of buildings with different wall thicknesses.
Used in FRCM, FRP or CRM system with:
- solidian ANTISEISMIC Grid which serves as the main reinforcement of flat surfaces
- solidian ANTISEISMIC Corner that connects the systems of inner and outer parts of the wall
- solidian ANTISEISMIC Wrap which serves as the main reinforcement of columns and beams
