Product Details Tyfo® SW-1
Underwater Epoxy
DESCRIPTION
Tyfo® SW-1 is a two part, 100% solids epoxy formulation consisting of epoxy resins, hardeners
and inert fillers specifically designed for underwater applications on steel, concrete and mansonry
surfaces. Tyfo® SW-1 is used in fiber wrap applications, with or without an aggregate, as a
protective coating or repair mortar to protect against damage and erosion in splash zone areas.
USE
Tyfo® SW-1 is formulated for use as the patching material, primer and adhesive in fiber wrap
applications. Tyfo® SW-1 can also be used to coat or repair concrete and steel materials in
underwater and splash zone applications providing protection against corrosion, erosion and
deterioration from salt or fresh water.
