- Long-term water tightness in pressurized pipes and reduced I&I in sewers
- Help increase the working pressure capacity of existing pipes
- Can be designed as stand-alone pipe, or composite system with the existing pipe, and/or as a protective coating
- Can be used to renew existing pipes of different materials (steel pipes, Reinforced concrete pipes RCP, and Prestressed Concrete Cylinder Pipes PCCP)
- Easy to install in a wet lay-up process and forming irregular surfaces
- Requires minimal surface preparation to achieve some of the highest bond strength in the industry (can be applied on damp surfaces as well as dry)
- Provides Seismic retrofitting and protection for existing structures
- High tensile and flexural strength compared to other construction materials and coatings
The Complete TCI Product Line-up
All TCI listed products are designed as a system to work in conjunction with one another, all made of the same base thermoset epoxy.
TCI ShieldStrong 955-PL
TCI would like to introduce TCI ShieldStrong 955-PL to the it’s family of products. TCI ShieldStrong 955-PL is a “COST EFFECTIVE” Protective Coating system, consisting of thermoset epoxy, 100% solid, zero Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC).TCI ShieldStrong 955-PL has been developed for protecting concrete, masonry, steel and brick substrates against aggressive environmental and chemical conditions and is based on existing TCI systems that have been in service for many years.
- Ideal “COST EFFECTIVE” protective coating system for sewer and wastewater facilities
- TCI ShieldStrong requires minimal surface preparation to achieve some of the highest bond strength in the industry
- It can be applied on damp surfaces as well as dry
- The flexural strength and modulus of this product was found to be in the range of 4,00 Psi [27.5 Mpa] and 96 Ksi [665 Mpa] respectively. Even though TCI 955 is not meant for structural repair, it has good mechanical properties in addition to its flexibility which allows a 10% deformation ratio
- TCI 955 has excellent sulfuric acid resistance, retaining 90% of its original flexural strength and 70% of its flexural modulus after being exposed to a 10% sulfuric acid solution for 1,000 hours
- Can be applied by brushing, rolling, troweling or spraying with a recommended thickness of 1 mm for new construction. For deteriorated concrete, the thickness may vary according to the substrate conditions
TCI ProTecStrong 855-SPL
ProTecStrong SPL is a structural protective liner composite system comprised of thermoset epoxy and milled glass fibre. The system is developed for use as structural protective repair material as well as non-structural protective coating. The product is especially formulated for use in potable water and wastewater facilities to protect concrete, brick, masonry, and steel surfaces against sulfuric acid, gases, and other chemicals usually found in the wastewater headspace.
- Exclusive high bond strength to existing substrates
- Can be applied on dry and damp/moist surfaces
- Long-term protection of chemical and harsh environment
- Easy to apply and long recoat window
- Retain at least 70% of its original mechanical properties after 50 years of chemical exposure
- 1.6mm [1/16 inch] thick coating is able to protect the substrate from chemical attack for a long-term exposure
- It’s the right product to strengthen, repair, and protect your structure
- Material Data Sheets are available upon request for more information
At over 3mm in thickness, it can be used as a structural fix, as a structural patching compound for cracks in concrete holes in concrete and spalling of concrete. TCI will provide structural engineering for such uses.
NSF 61 approved and tested!
TCI CarbonStrong SPL
CarbonStrong CS Composite is comprised of Thermoset Saturating Epoxy and Carbon Fibre Fabric to form a Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) laminate used to strengthen and/or upgrade structural elements.

Epoxy Primers
TCI 800-D:
High strength thermoset epoxy primer especially formulated to be used in Sewer Pipes when the surface of the substrate is in Saturated Surface Dry (SSD) conditions. ANSI/NSF 61 approved for potable water pipes and water tanks. 100% solid, zero VOC
TCI 800-W: A thermoset epoxy primer especially formulated to be applied on moist or wet substrate. It allows the concrete surface to be sealed once it’s fully cured, typically within 24 hours after application. 100% solid, zero VOC
TCI 800-W: A thermoset epoxy primer especially formulated to be applied on moist or wet substrate. It allows the concrete surface to be sealed once it’s fully cured, typically within 24 hours after application. 100% solid, zero VOC
Epoxy Saturant
TCI 300-S:
A two component, 100% solids, thermoset epoxy system. Its low viscosity and long pot life characteristics make it ideal to saturated carbon and glass fibre fabrics for use in wet layup composite applications. TCI-300-S components are ANSI/NSF 61 & NSF 372 certified for use in potable water facilities
Epoxy Butter
TCI 200-B:
A two component, 100% solids, thermoset epoxy paste. High mechanical properties and resistance to chemicals make it ideal for the strengthening and protection of concrete elements. It can be used as a tack coat in wet lay-up applications of carbon/glass fibre reinforced polymers. TCI-200-B components are ANSI/NSF 61 & NSF 372 certified for use in potable water facilities
It is a structural patching compound
Can be used to patch concrete holes, cracks, spalling.
It can also be used as the tack coat for wet layup.
