Sher-Bar™ TEC
Using advanced technology, Sher-Bar TEC (Textured Epoxy Coating) is the first damage-resistant epoxy coating for rebar, engineered to further extend the service life of steel reinforced concrete structures. With improved bond strength, damage tolerance and corrosion resistance, Sher-Bar TEC reduces the severity of cracks within the concrete, thereby decreasing chloride penetration and the rate of deterioration within the structure. This combination enhances long-term structural performance while reducing the frequency of maintenance repair, downtime, and costs.
- Improved Bond Strength to Concrete: Improved crack mitigation leading to reduction in micro-cracking and chlorides penetration
- Improved Damage Tolerance: Effects of rough handling and installation are demonstrably reduced, maintaining the integrity of the ASTM A775 base layer
- Improved Corrosion Resistance: Protecting the ASTM A775 base layer from damage leaves an intact barrier coating which extends asset life and maximizes total benefit analysis
- Extensive Certification Testing: Meets or exceeds ASTM A1124 specification compliance
- Safety: Reduced workplace slippage
- Sustainability: Made with up to 30% upcycled materials
- Enabling: Allows uses of alternative cementitious materials
- Efficiency: Reduced congestion leading to faster construction
