using Tyfo® S Epoxy
DESCRIPTION
The Tyfo® BC Composite is an ICC-ES ESR-2103 listed product comprised of Tyfo® S Epoxy and
Tyfo® BC reinforcing fabric. Tyfo® BC is a custom, bi-directional fabric used in the Tyfo®
Fibrwrap® System. The primary fibers are continuous E-glass orientated in the ±45 degree
directions. The Tyfo® S Epoxy is a two-component epoxy matrix material.
USE
Tyfo® BC Fabric is combined with Tyfo® S epoxy to provide connections and add strength and
ductility to bridges, buildings, and other structures.
