The serial products of cable are produced
by Liuzhou Eastern Cable Company under the jurisdiction
of Liuzhou OVM Machinery Co.,
Ltd.. The products are mainly finished stay
cable product of cable-stay bridge, stay cable product
of hot-casting anchorage, stay cable product of hangers
and ties, external cable, high antiseptic performance
PC tendons with full-coating epoxy and single,
double-deck HDPE unbonded prestressing tendons.
PC tendons with full-coating epoxy is a kind of excellent
anti-corrosion property tendon researched and manufactured
by Liuzhou OVM Machinery
Co., Ltd.. Each
steel wire surface of φ5 stranded wire is electrostatic
sprayed an even pre-pressing thickness epoxy resin membrane,
so known as PC tendons with full-coating epoxy agein.
Because its membrane is even, its surface is smooth
and planish, friction coefficient is small, and can
be made to be unbonded prestressing tendon form.
In addition, comparing
with the tendons without coating, the mechanical property
of the PC tendons with full-coating epoxy was not reduced
basically; there are no bubbles, breaking-off, crack
etc. to apply the membrane; the coating epoxy can work
in -70℃ and +100℃ environments while coating performance
is not influenced, that is to say, the coating epoxy
is not brittle rupture, soften and the ability of transfer
load is not reduced. After being coated, the outside
diameter of PC tendons changed relatively light, the
original OVM Post-tensioning Systems can still use,
it doesn't need to use special anchorage, wedges except
that it is matched peculiar stretching technology. The
construction is convenient, the expenses are low.
At present, PC tendons
with full-coating epoxy have already been widely used
in such structure as external cable bridge, tendon-stayed
bridges using strands.
