Reinforce Concrete Slab Crack Repairs with Carbon Fiber
The added use of Carbon Fiber Stitching Dogs, available as part of the Emecole Metro Carbon Fiber Stitching Dogs Accessory Kit, provides the additional reinforcement necessary to protect repaired cracks and surfaces against further slab movement and re-cracking. Emecole Metro’s single-tow Stitching Dogs are pultruded carbon fiber reinforced polymer rods designed specifically for providing the necessary structural reinforcement. Stitching Dogs are inserted into grooves cut into the concrete surface, and bonded with Emecole Metro 555 Concrete Crack Repair Hybrid Polyurethane. Each single-tow Stitching Dog adds up to 1300psi tensile strength.
The Accessory Kit includes the needed components to ensure the proper installation of Carbon Fiber Stitching Dogs, which is recommended to be completed following the initial repair of the crack via the Emceole Metro Slab Crack Repair Kit.

Can this product be used in the middle of winter or when the temperature outside is below freezing? What is the coldest (or warmest) temperature your product will work in?
The ideal temperature for the use of the materials packaged in this kit is between 40 and 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
