Sika AnchorFix®-1

Sika AnchorFix®-1 possesses a temperature resistance of +80 °C (176 °F) short term (1 to 2 hours) and -40 °C (-40 °F) minimum and +50 °C (122 °F) maximum long-term when cured.

Part A:part B = 10:1 by volume. When the work is interrupted, the static mixer can remain on the cartridge after the gun pressure has been relieved. If the resin has hardened in the nozzle when work is resumed, a new nozzle must be attached.

1. Unscrew and remove the cap.
2. Pull out the red plug.
3. Cut the film and remove the red plug.
4. Screw on the static mixer.
5. Place the cartridge into the gun and start application.

Note: When the red plug has been removed and before the static mixing nozzle is secured to the cartridge, it is strongly recommended that an initial purge is carried out. This involves loading the cartridge, with the plug cut off, into a suitable gun and triggering until a consistent distribution of the two components is achieved. This process ensures that suitable material is available, blockages in the static mixer are avoided and gunning is easier.

Mortar and concrete must be at the required strength. No need to be 28 days old. Substrate strength (concrete, masonry, natural stone) must be verified. Pull-out tests must be carried out if the substrate strength is unknown. The anchor hole must always be clean, dry, free from oil and grease, etc. Loose particles must be removed from the holes.

The load capacity of the threaded rod by itself must be verified. The anchor hole must be dry.

1. Drill hole with an electric drill to the diameter and depth required. Drill hole diameter must be in accordance with anchor size.
2.  The drill hole must be thoroughly cleaned with a round brush (brush at least 3 times). The diameter of the brush must be larger than the diameter of the drill hole.
3. The drill hole must be cleaned after each cleaning step with a blow pump or by compressed air, starting from the bottom of the hole. Important: use oil-free air.
4. Pump approx. twice until both parts come out uniformly. Do not use this material. Release the gun pressure and clean the cartridge opening with a cloth. Attach the mixing nozzle.
5. Inject the adhesive into the hole, starting from the bottom, while slowly drawing back the static mixer. Avoid entrapping air. For deep hole extension tubing can be used.
6. Insert the anchor with a rotary motion into the filled drill hole. Some adhesive must come out of the hole. Important: the anchor must be placed within the open time.
7. During the resin hardening time the anchor must not be moved or loaded. Wash tools immediately with Sika® Epoxy Cleaner. Wash hands and skin thoroughly with warm soap and water. To fix anchors into hollow materials (bricks or blocks) perforated sleeves must be used. Note: with hollow material do not use rotary hammer drills.
    

The indicated filling quantities are calculated without wastage. Wastage 10 - 50 %. The filled quantity can be monitored during injection with the help of the scale on the cartridge label. Substrate and ambient temperature: -10 °C (14 °F) min / +40 °C (104 °F) max.

3 mm max. 

Sika AnchorFix-1 does not sag, even overhead.
