Fiber preforms for carbon concrete and carbon reinforcement
As a developer or manufacturer of precast concrete elements, you know that traditional steel reinforcements are reaching their limits. Weight, susceptibility to corrosion, and limited formability make it difficult to implement modern, sustainable construction projects.
TFP Technology offers a groundbreaking alternative: custom-designed, non-metallic carbon fiber reinforcements, which make your components lighter, more durable and more efficient.
With our unique Tailored Fiber Placement-Technology (abbreviated: TFP) we manufacture Carbon preforms as Reinforcement structures, which not only serve as a corrosion-free alternative to steel, but also a precise adaptation to any component geometry enable.
Take advantage of the technological edge! Let us show you how custom-made fiber preforms can make your components more efficient, lighter, and more future-proof.
Why non-metallic carbon reinforcement is revolutionizing the construction industry
Steel has been the standard material for reinforcing concrete for decades. However, its disadvantages are well known: Steel rustsTo protect him from that, a thick concrete cover required, which the The overall weight and material consumption increasedIn the long term, this corrosion leads to complex and costly repair work.
Here offers Carbon concrete a convincing solution. Since carbon fibers corrosion-free are, can the Concrete cover significantly less fail. This results in a weight loss and slimmer, more elegant components, without compromising load-bearing capacity. Carbon concrete structures are significantly more durableThis not only reduces maintenance costs but also increases the Sustainability of buildings.
Take advantage of carbon concrete to make your concrete components lighter, more durable, and more economical. We'll show you how.
DAfStb Guideline 2024: Planning certainty for carbon concrete reinforcement
The widespread acceptance of carbon fiber reinforcements was facilitated by the regulation introduced in 2024. DAfStb guideline for concrete components with non-metallic reinforcement A decisive breakthrough. It offers planners, civil engineers and precast concrete plants a new basis for greater planning certainty.
- No more project-related special permits: The directive establishes clear, universally accepted rules.
- Clear specifications for design and execution: Clear standards facilitate application in the construction industry.
- Secure integration: The path has been paved for the mass production of carbon reinforcement as a standard technology.
These conditions allow you to benefit from the superior technology without having to fight through bureaucratic hurdles.
Use the new guideline to integrate carbon concrete into your construction projects in a series-ready and compliant manner. Without additional effort, but with maximum progress.
TFP technology: Precise fiber placement for lightweight carbon reinforcement
The enormous tensile strength of carbon fibers unfolds only in the fiber direction. anisotropic properties conventional standard networks often make them inefficient, because the The stress lines of the components rarely run in a straight line..
Here comes our Tailored-Fiber-Placement-Technology (TFP) comes into play. We place the carbon fibers using CNC embroidery technology and lay them down. Accurate to the millimeter along the actual force flows.
The result is a carbon reinforcement that is not only lighter, but also a higher load capacity per unit of weight offers. Through targeted fiber alignment, we avoid material build-up and achieve optimal performance..
Take advantage of customized carbon reinforcement for maximum strength with minimal material usage.
Tailor-made carbon reinforcement: Preforms for every component geometry
Standardized reinforcements are often a compromise. We go a step further and develop solutions together with you. custom-made carbon preforms, By the individual design of fiber architecture can be Mesh size, fiber orientation and number of layers precisely adapt to the static requirements of your components.
- Slimmer design: A thinner concrete cover allows for more delicate, modern designs.
- Highest efficiency: Targeted fiber guidance increases load-bearing capacity and reduces weight.
- Freedom of form: Even complex and non-rectangular geometries can easily be provided with optimal reinforcement.
As an experienced partner for Carbon fiber preforms We support you from the initial idea to series production and ensure that our semi-finished products seamlessly integrate into your manufacturing processes to let.

Questions and answers about non-metallic reinforcement with TFP technology
What approvals or standards apply to the use of carbon reinforcement in concrete construction?
Since 2024, the DAfStb guideline has regulated the use of non-metallic reinforcement such as carbon. It creates planning certainty without project-specific special approvals and significantly simplifies its application.
How does carbon reinforcement differ from classic carbon meshes?
Unlike standard fabrics, the carbon fibers in TFP are placed precisely along the force flows. This enables maximum material efficiency, less weight, and higher load-bearing capacity.
For which components is carbon reinforcement particularly suitable?
Ideal for lightweight, delicate concrete components such as facade panels, balcony slabs, stairs, or precast ceilings. It also offers clear advantages in the renovation and reinforcement of existing structures.
Can carbon reinforcement be integrated into existing manufacturing processes?
Yes, the preforms are tailored to your component geometry and are designed to integrate seamlessly into automated processes or existing formwork concepts.
How does carbon reinforcement affect the sustainability of a building?
The corrosion-free construction and reduced concrete cover significantly extend the service life. At the same time, CO₂ emissions and material consumption in production are reduced.
We produce fiber preforms as semi-finished products for you.
Contact us and discuss your requirements for the precise reinforcement of your component with our TFP experts, e.g., shape, layout and substrate material.
Together with you, we develop a fiber preform as a semi-finished product for further processing in your final product.
We embroider the desired fiber onto a near-net-shape cut carrier material that reinforces your product in exactly the right place.
We produce a sample that you can use and test in your production. After your approval, we begin production of the fiber preforms in small or medium-sized batches at our site in Falkenstein / Vogtland.
