Unbonded PC strand

Unbonded PC strand, also called unbonded PC steel strand, has good corrosion resistance. On the strand or wire bundle’s surface, it is coated with special anti-corrosion grease, then covered by polyethylene plastic which commonly are the low-voltage high-density polyethylene (HDPE). Because of the anti-corrosion grease and polyethylene plastic, the steel strand in using can isolate from the concrete, thus making the steel strand itself freely move in the layer, in order to make the construction convenient. What’s more, unbonded PC strand tendons friction is small, and easily bent into many curved shape. Therefore, it is suitable for cast-in-place concrete floor, large load of precast beams and other special structures.
