TCX 3
PCR-TCX3 is an engineered composite repair system consisting of a multi-axial carbon fiber reinforcement and high-performance epoxy prepreg system. Applied by qualified installers and designed to ISO 24817:2015 and ASME PCC-2 using an in-house engineering program, PCR-TCX3 can be used for strengthening applications, internal and external corrosion i.e. Type A (Non-through wall) as well as Type B (Through wall) defects.
PCR-GX is an engineered composite repair system consisting of an epoxy adhesive primer, multi-axial E-glass reinforcement and a high performance epoxy resin system. Applied by qualified installers, and with repairs designed to ISO 24817:2015 and ASME PCC-2 using an in-house engineering program, PCR-GX can be used for strengthening applications, internal and external corrosion including leaking through wall defects.
