Concrete Cloth (CC) is a unique proprietary material that has been recently developed by Concrete Canvas. It has a very wide range of applications throughout the building and civil engineering industry.

CC consists of a 3-dimensional fibre matrix containing a specially formulated dry concrete mix. A PVC backing on one side of the surface of the cloth ensures the material is completely waterproof, while hydrophilic fibres on the opposite side aid hydration by drawing the water into the cement. After hydration, CC hardens to a strong, durable, waterproof and fire proof concrete surface.

The material can be hydrated either by spraying or being fully immersed in water. Once hydrated the material is workable and remains flexible for up to 2 hours. It can be easily nailed, staples through or coated with adhesive, for easy attachment to other surfaces and has good drape characteristics allowing complex surfaces with double curvatures to be produced.

Once set, the fibres reinforce the concrete, preventing crack propagation and providing a safe plastic failure mode.
