Sika AnchorFix®-1

• European Technical Approval (ETA) according to ETAG001-5 for threaded bars only.

12 months from date of production

All Sika AnchorFix®-1 cartridges have the expiry date printed on the label.

 Cartridges should be stored in their original packaging, the correct way up, in cool conditions 41 °F to 77 °F (5 °C to 25 °C) out of direct sunlight.

1. The above values represent mean ultimate values and allowable working loads. The allowable working loads have been reduced using a safety factor of 4.0 for tension and 3.0 for shear, however, in some cases, such as life safety, safety factors of 10.0 or higher may be necessary.
2. Allowable loads must be checked against steel capacity. The lowest value controls.
3. Tabulated data is applicable to single anchors in normal-weight concrete unaffected by edge or spacing reduction factors. Values are valid for anchors installed into dry concrete in holes drilled with a hammer drill and ANSI carbide drill bit.
4. Service temperatures should remain approximately constant. The maximum long term temperature being 122 °F and the maximum short term temperature being 176 °F. Short term temperatures are those that occur over brief intervals, for example, diurnal cycling.
5. Linear interpolation is allowed.

Component A : component B = 10 : 1 by volume

Non-sag, even overhead

Sika AnchorFix®-1 must be at a temperature of between 41 °F (5 °C) and 104 °F (40 °C) for application.

• Beware of condensation.
• Beware of frost.

Working & Loading Times

T Work is the typical time to gel at the highest temperature in the range T Load is the typical time to reach full capacity *Cartridge temperature must be maintained at a minimum of 41°F.

*Number of fixings assumes 30ml wastage in initial extrusion and holes filled to 3/4 full

• 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.

Getting the cartridge ready

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.

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