Tyfo® BCC Composite
using Tyfo® S Epoxy
DESCRIPTION
The Tyfo® BCC Composite is comprised of Tyfo® S Epoxy and Tyfo® BCC reinforcing fabric.
Tyfo® BCC is a custom, bi-directional fabric used in the Tyfo® Fibrwrap® System. The primary
fibers are continuous carbon orientated in the ±45 degree directions. The Tyfo® S Epoxy is a
two-component epoxy matrix material for bonding applications.
USE
Tyfo® BCC Fabric is combined with Tyfo® S epoxy to provide connections and add strength and
ductility to bridges, buildings, and other structures.
