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

Adhesion icon

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.

Damage tolerance icon

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.

Slip and fall icon

Improved slip resistance 

The textured finish of Sher-Bar TEC provides added grip, helping to reduce on-site slip and fall incidents.

Life cycle cost icon

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

Sustainability icon

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.

Application icon

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.
