Use
In the areas of public works, road and rail infrastructures, petrochemicals, and mining industry, CIMTEX® and CIMTEX HYDRO® products are used for the following applications :
- Channel lining
- Slope protection
- Dike lining
- Pipeline protection
- Erosion protection
CIMTEX® and CIMTEX HYDRO® are concrete in rolls that installs 10 times faster than conventional concrete solutions. Concrete Canvas products are flexible, concrete filled geosynthetic, that hardens on hydration to form a thin, durable, waterproof and fire-resistant concrete layer.

Benefits
- Quick and easy to install
- Product available in man portable rolls for applications with limited access
- Ready to use solution : the concrete is pre-mixed so there is no need for mixing, measuring or compacting
- Good drape characteristics and will closely follow the ground profile and fit around existing infrastructure
- Eco friendly : product is low mass, low carbon technology which uses up to 95 % less material than conventional concrete for many applications
- The fibre reinforcement prevents cracking, absorbs energy from impacts and provides a stable failure mode
- Durable product : chemical resistance, weathering performance and UV resistance
- The PVC backing on one surface ensures that the material has excellent impermeability
