SUBSTRATE QUALITY
Mortar and concrete must be at the required design strength.
Substrate tensile / compressive strengths (concrete, masonry, natural stone) must be confirmed by testing.
The anchor hole must always be clean, dry, free from oil and grease etc.
Loose particles must be removed from the holes.
Threaded rods and rebar's must be cleaned thoroughly and free from dirt, oil, grease, corrosion products or any other substances and particles which could affect adhesion.
MIXING
Preparing the cartridge: 385 & 585 ml
|
| 1.Unscrew the cap |
|
| 2. Remove the cap |
|
| 3. Screw on the static mixer |
|
| 4. Place the cartridge into the application gun ready for use |
When the work is interrupted the static mixer nozzle can remain on the cartridge after the gun pressure has been released. If the resin has hardened in the nozzle when work is resumed, a new nozzle must be attached.
CLEAN UP
Remove uncured material from all tools and application equipment with Sika® Epoxy Cleaner. Cured product can only be removed mechanically.
