WHAT IS CONCRETE CLOTH ?
The concrete cloth, also known as concrete canvas, is an innovative building material. Here is a detailed introduction of the concrete cloth:
*This above picture is the concrete cloth.
Basic features:
The concrete cloth is a three-dimensional fiber composite structure made of polyethylene and polypropylene filament woven, and a soft cloth soaked in special cement.
It hydrates and hardened into a thin, waterproof, fireproof and durable layer of concrete.
Major advantage:
Easy to use: concrete cloth can be large roll in bulk supply, convenient manual loading and unloading and transportation, without large lifting machinery.
Rapid solidification: after the hydration reaction occurs during the watering process, the size and shape of the cement layer can still be treated within 2 hours, and hardened to 80% of the strength within 24 hours.
Environmental protection: The concrete cloth is a low-quality, low-carbon technology, using 95% less materials than ordinary concrete in many applications, and has little impact on the local ecology.
High strength: the fiber in the concrete cloth can improve the strength of the material, prevent cracking and absorb impact energy.
Durability: Good chemical and weather resistance, and does not degrade in sunlight.
Other features:
Concrete cloth has excellent mechanical properties and durability, as long as the normal use after pouring, can be decades without degradation.
The concrete cloth also has good sound insulation performance, adaptability, reflection and air permeability.

Compared with the other building materials, the concrete cloth has the following several unique advantages:
1. Rapid construction and hardening:
Concrete cloth can be supplied in bulk, convenient for manual loading and unloading and transportation, without large lifting machinery.
Once the hydration reaction begins, the size and shape of the cement layer can still be treated within 2 hours and hardened to 80% of the strength within 24 hours. The characteristic of this rapid solidification and molding makes the construction efficiency greatly improved.
2. Environmental protection:
Concrete cloth is a low-quality, low-carbon technology that uses 95% less material than regular concrete in many applications.
The limited alkali content, the low rate of refinement, and the impact on the local ecology is very small.
3. Material strength and durability:
The fiber structure in the concrete cloth can improve the strength of the material, prevent cracking, absorb shock energy, and form a stable damage pattern.
It has good chemical and weather resistance, even in sunlight will not degrade, ensuring long-term durability.
4. Waterproof and fire prevention characteristics:
The bottom of the concrete cloth is lined with polyethylene (PVC), which makes it completely waterproof and enhances the chemical resistance of the material.
At the same time, the concrete cloth does not burn, has a good flame retardant, in the fire smoke is very small, the dangerous gas emissions are also very small.
5. Application Flexibility:
The concrete cloth has good overhang, which can change with the complex shape of the surface of the covered object, and even form a hyperboloid shape.
Before curing, the concrete cloth can be cut with ordinary manual tools or cut at will to meet a variety of customized needs.
6. Strong adaptability to the construction environment:
Concrete cloth can be used in a variety of complex terrain, difficult construction environment, such as ditches, stairs, etc., to solve the difficult problems of traditional materials to deal with.
7. Low maintenance cost:
Concrete cloth has long service life, low maintenance cost, do not need frequent replacement or maintenance, saving manpower and material costs.
To sum up, concrete cloth, with its unique advantages of rapid construction, environmental protection, high strength, durability, waterproof and fire prevention, flexible application and strong adaptability to construction environment, has a wide application prospect in the field of construction and engineering.

Application
Concrete cloths can be used in a variety of fields. Here are some of the main application scenarios:
1. Road and ground paving:
concrete cloths can be laid quickly on roads, especially on sections where rapid traffic recovery is needed. Its rapid hardening characteristics enable the road to resume traffic in a short time, and it is widely used in roads, Bridges, tunnels, parking lots and other public places to provide a smooth and durable surface.
2. Slope protection and ecological restoration:
In mountainous areas such as mountain banks, concrete cloths can be used to reinforce the soil and prevent landslides and erosion. Its fibrous structure can stabilize the soil and reduce soil erosion. At the same time, the concrete cloth can be combined with vegetation to form ecological slope protection and realize environmental restoration and ecological protection.
3. Building waterproof, moisture-proof and protection:
concrete cloth has excellent waterproof performance, can be used for the building roof, wall and other parts of the waterproof treatment. Its completely waterproof properties can effectively prevent moisture penetration and protect the building structure.
For the repair and maintenance of the building exterior wall, effectively isolate the invasion of rain and sand, enhance the damage resistance of the wall.
In basement, bathroom and other wet environment, concrete cloth can also be used for moisture-proof treatment to keep the environment dry and comfortable.
4. River course treatment and reservoir protection:
In river management, concrete cloths can be used to reinforce river banks and repair river courses. Its rapid hardening properties can quickly stabilize the river banks and prevent water from washing.
In the reservoir protection, the concrete cloth can be used to reinforce the reservoir dam body, repair the cracks and loopholes, and improve the safety and stability of the reservoir.
5. Disaster emergency response and temporary facilities:
In emergency situations such as natural disasters, concrete cloths can be quickly laid into temporary roads, Bridges and other transportation facilities to facilitate rescue and recovery work.
It can also be used to build temporary houses, tents and other shelter facilities to provide a safe living space for the affected people.
6. Landscape architecture and decoration:
The diversity and customisability of the concrete cloth makes it ideal for landscaping and decoration. It can be cut into various shapes and patterns according to the design needs, used for laying the ground, making flower beds, sculptures, etc.
7. Agriculture and livestock husbandry:
In agriculture, concrete cloths can be used to make farm roads, pens and other facilities to provide smooth, durable surfaces.
In animal husbandry, concrete cloths can be used to make cattle sheds and pigpen pens to improve the comfort and hygiene of animals.
*This above picture is the application of concrete cloth.
In short, the concrete cloth has a wide range of applications, and can be customized and applied according to the specific needs. Its rapid construction, environmental protection, durability and other characteristics make it have unique advantages in many fields.
In conclusion, concrete cloth is a remarkable material that has the potential to revolutionize the construction industry. Its unique properties, such as flexibility, fast hardening, environmental friendliness, and durability, make it a highly attractive alternative to traditional concrete. As the material continues to gain recognition and acceptance, it is expected to play a significant role in shaping the future of construction.
