Working & Loading Times
| Cartridge Temperature* | T Work (minutes) | Base Material Temperature | T Load (hours) |
| 41°F to 50 °F | 18 | 41 °F to 50 °F | 145 hours |
| 50 °F to 68 °F | 10 | 50 °F to 68°F | 85 minutes |
| 68 °F to 77 °F | 6 | 68 °F to 77 °F | 50 minutes |
| 77 °F to 86 °F | 5 | 77 °F to 86 °F | 40 minutes |
| +86 °F | 4 | +86 °F | 35 minutes |
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 minium of 41°F.
Coverage
*Number of fixings assumes 30ml wastage in initial extrusion and holes filled to 3/4 full
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 |
|
| 2. Cut the film |
|
| 3. Screw on the static mixer |
|
| 4. Place the cartridge into the gun and start application |
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.
CLEANING OF TOOLS
Tools must be cleaned as soon as possible with a clean rag.
