TCI CarbonStrong System

Layered Unidirectional Stitched CFRP

Description

TCI’s CarbonStrong system has been engineered for exceptional strength, durability and longevity, all while ensuring ease of use. All layers in the system are extensively third party tested and designed to bond to each other, resulting in superior bond strength, longevity and performance. Fix it once, and have it last for generations.

Key Advantages

  • Cost savings due to long service life, minimal needs for repairs and ease of installation
  • Non-single system liner that allows structural repair only where needed
  • Easy to install in a wet lay-up process and forming irregular surfaces
  • Allows accessibility and application to confined spaces
  • Can be used for repair, rehabilitation and strengthening of existing and new buildings and infrastructures

Key Features

  • Cutting-edge layered unidirectional stitching ensures exceptional multi-directional strength and durability
  • Stitched black light tracer lines for easy installation in dark environments
  • High tensile and flexural strength while being incredibly lightweight
  • Passes 500 PSI watertightness testing
  • Improves working pressure in existing pipes
  • 100% solid and 100% solvent free

Applications

  • Water and Wastewater Treatment Facilities
  • Maintenance Holes and Chambers
  • Bridges, Tunnels and Collumns
  • Settling Tanks

Three Epoxies. One High-Performance System.

Engineered to work together for maximum performance, delivering reliable adhesion, strength, and efficiency from start to finish.

800-P (website)

TCI CarbonStrong 800-P Primer

A high-performance epoxy that delivers superior adhesion and sealing properties, providing a strong, protective foundation adaptable for dry or damp substrates including concrete, steel, and more.
CarbonStrong 200-B (Butter)

TCI CarbonStrong 200-B Butter

A versatile epoxy that is applied as a skim coat between the carbon fiber layers to provide exceptional bond strength.
CarbonStrong 300-S (Saturant)

TCI CarbonStrong 300-S Saturant

A reliable epoxy that ensures excellent impregnation of carbon and glass fibre fabrics, delivering enhanced strength and structural integrity with low viscosity and extended working time for wet layup applications.

Three Weight Options. One Perfect for Your Project.

Three carbon fiber fabric weights to suit the need of any project featuring innovative unidirectional stitch that allows for wet lay up only in the hoop direction.

CS-U600 (2)

TCI CarbonStrong CS-U600

At 600g, this is our lightest carbon fiber fabric. This lightweight unidirectional fabric adds almost no additional weight to the existing structure.
Carbon Fiber Fabric 850

TCI CarbonStrong 850

At 850g, this mid-weight carbon fiber fabric delivers an ideal balance of strength and weight, suited for most reinforcement needs.
CS-U1200

TCI CarbonStrong CS-U1200

Our heaviest carbon fiber fabric at 1200g. Unmatched strength and durability allows for the possibility of less fabric layers in your project.

Two Colors. Two Standards. Built for Every Water System.

BLUE for potable water. GREEN for wastewater.

ShieldStrong 955-PL-B (Potable)

TCI ShieldStrong 955-PL-B

A chemical-resistant protective liner for concrete and steel infrastructures and is approved for use in potable water applications. It is NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 certified with zero volatile organic components (VOC Free), and extensively 3rd party tested for safety.
955-PL-G (2026)

TCI ShieldStrong 955-PL-G

The ideal protective coating system for sewers and wastewater facility assets and effectively protects against catastrophic pipe deterioration from sulfuric acid, gasses and other corrosive chemicals in wastewater environments. TCI ShieldStrong 955-PL-G is SWAT tested and approved (severe wastewater analysis testing).
