Application steps

SUBSTRATE QUALITY

Mortar and concrete must be older than 28 days.

Verify the substrate strength (concrete, masonry, natural stone). Perform pull-out tests if the substrate strength is unknown.

Make sure that the anchor hole is clean, dry, free from oil and grease. Remove loose particles from the anchor hole.

Clean threaded rods and reinforcement bars thoroughly. Remove oil, grease or any other substances and particles such as dirt.

APPLICATION

Test if the Product is suitable for the substrate

Note: Due to the variety of possible substrates, the Product's suitability for the substrate must be confirmed before application, particularly in terms of desired bond strength, composition, porosity, potential surface staining or discolouration.

  1. Test the Product's suitability in a sample area.
 

Hardened material in the static mixer nozzle

Note: When work is interrupted, the static mixer nozzle can remain on the cartridge after the pressure of the sealant dispenser has been released.

  1. Attach a new nozzle if the resin has hardened in the nozzle when work is resumed

ANCHORS IN SOLID MASONRY OR CONCRETE

  1. Drill a hole with an electric drill to the diameter and depth required. IMPORTANT Make sure that the drill hole diameter is in accordance with the anchor size.

02-Anchorfix_Drilling_the_hole_pro-293

CLEANING DRILL HOLES WITH DIAMETER D0 ≤ ⌀ 20 MM AND EMDEDDED DEPTH ≤ 240 MM

  1. IMPORTANT Use oil-free compressors. Clean the drill hole with a blow pump or by compressed air, starting from the bottom of the drill hole.

    Note: Clean the drill hole a minimum of two times.

    02-Anchorfix_clean_with_blow_pump_pro-264

  2. Thoroughly clean the drill hole with a steel brush.

    Note: The diameter of the brush must be larger than the diameter of the drill hole. Clean the drill hole a minimum of two times.

  3. IMPORTANT Use oil-free compressors. Clean the drill hole with a blow pump or by compressed air, starting from the bottom of the drill hole.

    Note: Clean the drill hole a minimum of two times.

    02-Anchorfix_clean_with_blow_pump_pro-264

CLEANING DRILL HOLES WITH DIAMETER D0 > ⌀ 20 MM AND EMDEDDED DEPTH > 240 MM

  1. IMPORTANT Use oil-free compressors. Start from the bottom and clean the drill hole using an air lance, pressure: 6 bar (90 psi).

    Note: Clean the drill hole a minimum of two times until the return air stream is free from dust.

ADHESIVE APPLICATION

  1. Pump the Product until both parts are extruded uniformly, with a consistent colour. IMPORTANT Do not use this material. Release the dispenser pressure and clean the cartridge nozzle with a cloth.

    02-Anchorfix_pump_until_both_parts_come_out_pro-211

  2. IMPORTANT Do not entrap air into the drill hole. Inject the Product into the drill hole starting from the bottom, while slowly drawing back the static mixer.

    Note: For deep drill holes, extension tubing can be used.

    02-Anchorfix_inject_the_adhesive_pro-213

  3. IMPORTANT Place the anchor within the open time. Insert the anchor with a rotary motion into the filled drill hole.

    Note: Some adhesive must come out of the drill hole.

    02-Anchorfix_insert_the_anchor_pro-218

  4. Do not load or move the anchor during the hardening time.
