WEATHERPROOF

Coatings manufactured by TCA help resist mildew, wind driven rains, heat and freeze/thaw conditions.

VERSATILITY

TCA's broad selection of Coating Systems meet the architectural and performance requirements for both exterior and interior surfaces including ceilings.

ECONOMICAL

High-build Textured Coatings out perform conventional paints. Grinding and sacking costs of concrete can be minimized, due to the hiding properties of TCA's textured coating.

LESS DOWN TIME

Building schedules do not need to be delayed due to damp or green concrete. TEX•COTE¨ XL-70¨ Spray-On or Roll-On Textured Coating is designed for these conditions.

CAPABILITIES

TCA has modern plants located in Los Angeles, CA and Panama City, FL. Corporate offices and R & D are based in Los Angeles, CA. TCA manufactures Coating Systems designed to meet the needs of the construction industry with proven durability and pleasing aesthetics.

SERVICES

Standard colors are stocked in both plants for immediate availability. Custom colors are available and can be manufactured to meet building schedules. Custom colors are submitted for final approval by the architect or specifier. Technical services are available to assist the applicator.

PRODUCT PRESENTATION

The selection of a TCA Coating System is dependent on the architectural effect desired with textures or patterns and the degree of hide required. Complete specifications are available from your TCA Representative or our Sales Office.
