Product properties are typically averages, obtained under laboratory conditions. Reasonable variations can be expected on-site due to local factors, including environment, preparation, application, curing and test methods.
Mixing 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.
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.
Yield per hole (mL) 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.
Application Drill hole with an electric drill to the diameter and depth required. Drill hole diameter must be in accordance with anchor size.
The drill hole must be thoroughly cleaned with a round brush (brush at least 3x). The diameter of the brush must be larger than the diameter of the drill hole.
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.
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.
Inject the adhesive into the hole, starting from the bottom, while slowly drawing back the static mixer. Avoid entrapping air. For deep holes extension tubing can be used.
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.
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.
Anchors in hollow concrete blocks:
Clean Up Clean all tools and application equipment with Sika® Epoxy Cleaner immediately after use. Hardened / cured material can only be mechanically removed.
Residues of material must be removed according to local regulations. Fully cured material can be disposed of as household waste under agreement with the responsible local authorities.
Limitations
-
Sika AnchorFix®-1 must be pre-conditioned at temperatures between 5 and 40 °C (41 and 104 °F) before application. The higher the temperature of the material, the easier it is to gun.
-
Due to the wide variety of substrates, verify that Sika AnchorFix® -1 is compatible with the substrate to ensure adequate bond strength and that it will not stain or discolour the substrate.
-
Sika AnchorFix®-1 possesses a temperature resistance of 80 °C (176 °F) short term (1 to 2 hours) and 50 °C (122 °F) long term when cured.
