Sher-Bar™ TEC
Textured Epoxy Coating
Sher-Bar TEC is a fusion bonded, textured finish epoxy for reinforcing bar, that helps increase adhesion to the concrete, damage tolerance and slip resistance.
Introducing Sher-Bar TEC
Duration - 2:52
RAISING THE BAR WITH 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.
MONOLITHIC FUSION BONDED EPOXY
To ensure a monolithic fusion bonded epoxy coating, Sher-Bar Green and Sher-Bar TEC are applied sequentially and cured together to ensure resultant coating layers are chemically bonded together. This process:
- Prevents corrosion by creating a barrier, blocking rust-causing materials
- Protects from damage with enhanced durability and sustainability
- Preserves the bond between the rebar and concrete with a proprietary textured finish

Benefits of Sher-Bar™ TEC
Improved adhesion
This product offers improved adhesion by maximizing the bond interaction between rebar and concrete resulting in minimized micro-cracking and reduced rebar congestion.
Superior damage tolerance
Sher-Bar TEC offers superior damage toolernace against transportation and on-site handing, therby protecting rebar from environmental exposure and preventing corosion.
Improved slip resistance
The textured finish of Sher-Bar TEC provides added grip, helping to reduce on-site slip and fall incidents.
Best life cycle cost
This product offers the best life cycle costs for reinforcing technology, through crack mitigation, reduced rebar gongestion and required splice length - resulting in lower operational and maintenance costs
Sustainable solution
Sher-Bar TEC is a sustainable solution as it uses up-cycled materials that would otherwise end up in landfills. This product also allows for the use of local alternative materials, thus reducing transporation costs and emisions.
Ease of application
This product allows for ease of application with the use of existing equipment. No need for additional handling or processing as the monolithic coating is sprayed on the same line. Additionally, Sher-Bar TEC has been added into the current CRSI/EIG plant certification process.
