USES

As a fast curing anchoring adhesive for all grades of:

  • Rebars / reinforcing steel
  • Threaded rods
  • Bolts and special fastening systems

Can be used on:

  • Uncracked Concrete

  • Solid masonry

  • Hard natural stone*

  • Solid rock*

  • These substrates may vary greatly, in particular with regard to strength, composition and porosity. Therefore, for each application the suitability of Sika AnchorFix®-1 Adhesive must be tested by first applying Sika AnchorFix®-1 Adhesive only to a sample area. Check in particular bond strength, surface staining and discoloration.

CHARACTERISTICS / ADVANTAGES

  • Fast curing
  • Standard guns can be used
  • Can be used at low temperatures
  • High load capacity
  • Non-sag, even overhead
  • Styrene-free polyester resin

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

SUBSTRATE QUALITY

  • 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.
  • Threaded rods and rebars have to be cleaned thoroughly from any oil, grease or any other substances and particles such as dirt etc.

MIXING

Getting the cartridge ready

1. Unscrew the cap

Mixing 1

2. Cut the film

Mixing 2

3. Screw on the static mixer

Mixing 3

4. Place the cartridge into the gun and start application

Mixing 4

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.

APPLICATION METHOD / TOOLS

Anchors in solid masonry / concrete

Drilling of hole with an electric drill to the diameter and depth required. Drill hole diameter must be in accordance with anchor size.

Application 1

The drill hole must be cleaned with a blow pump or by compressed air, starting from the bottom of the hole. (at least 2x) Important: use oil-free compressors.

Application 2

The drill hole must be thoroughly cleaned with the special steel brush (brush at least 2x). The diameter of the brush must be larger than the diameter of the drill hole.

Application 3

The drill hole must be cleaned with a blow pump or by compressed air, starting from the bottom of the hole. (at least 2x) Important: use oil-free compressors.

Application 4

The drill hole must be thoroughly cleaned with the special steel brush (brush at least 2x). The diameter of the brush must be larger than the diameter of the drill hole.

Application 3

The drill hole must be cleaned with a blow pump or by compressed air, starting from the bottom of the hole. (at least 2x) Important: use oil-free compressors.

Application 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.

Application 5

Inject the adhesive into the hole, starting from the bottom, while slowly drawing back the static mixer.In any case avoid entrapping air. For deep holes extension tubing can be used.

Application 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.

Application 7

During the resin hardening time the anchor must not be moved or loaded. Wash tools immediately with Sika® Colma Cleaner.
Wash hands and skin thoroughly with warm soap water.

Application 8

CLEANING OF TOOLS

Tools must be cleaned as soon as possible with a clean rag.
