Application steps

NOTES ON INSTALLATION

Do NOT use on smooth non-porous substrates (e.g. metal, PVC, etc.).
As the manufacturer cannot know all the uses their products may be put to, it is the user's responsibility to determine suitability for use. If in doubt, contact Sika® Technical Services department for advice.

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

Mortar and concrete must be older than 28 days.
Verify the substrate strength (i.e. 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.

MIXING

GETTING THE CARTRIDGE READY

1. Unscrew the cap.

2. Cut the film if needed.

02-en-AnchorFix-2b_deck4-24

3. Screw on the static mixer.

02-en-AnchorFix-3_deck4-24

4. Place the cartridge into the dispenser and start application.

02-en-AnchorFix-4_deck4-24

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

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.

Test the Product's suitability in a sample area.

ANCHORS IN SOLID MASONRY OR CONCRETE

1. IMPORTANT Make sure that the drill hole diameter is in accordance with the anchor size. Drill a hole with an electric drill to the diameter and depth specified in the Technical Documentation listed in the section "Further Information".
2. IMPORTANT Use oil-free compressors. Clean the drill hole with a blow pump or by compressed air, starting from the bottom of the hole. NOTE: The hole must be cleaned a minimum of two times.
3. Thoroughly clean the drill hole with the hybrid brush. NOTE: The diameter of the brush must be larger than the diameter of the drill hole and the hole must be cleaned a minimum of two times.
4. IMPORTANT Use oil-free compressors. Clean the drill hole with a blow pump or by compressed air, starting from the bottom of the hole. NOTE: The hole must be cleaned a minimum of two times.
5. Thoroughly clean the drill hole with the hybrid brush. NOTE: The diameter of the brush must be larger than the diameter of the drill hole and the hole must be cleaned a minimum of two times.
6. IMPORTANT Use oil-free compressors. Clean the drill hole with a blow pump or by compressed air, starting from the bottom of the hole. NOTE: The hole must be cleaned a minimum of two times.

7. Pump the Product until both parts come out uniformly. Release the gun pressure and clean the cartridge nozzle with a cloth.
8. IMPORTANT Do NOT entrap air into the hole. Inject the Product into the hole starting from the bottom while slowly drawing back the static mixer. NOTE: For deep holes extension tubing can be used.
9. IMPORTANT The anchor must be placed within the open time. Insert the anchor with a rotary motion into the filled drill hole. NOTE: Some adhesive must come out of the hole.
10. Do NOT load or move the anchor during the hardening time.

ANCHORS IN HOLLOW BLOCKS

1. IMPORTANT Do NOT use rotary hammer drills. Drill a hole with an electric drill to the diameter and depth specified in the Technical Documentation listed in the section "Further Information". The drill hole diameter must be in accordance with the anchor and the perforated sleeve size.

02-en-AnchorFix-1-8_1_deck4-24

2. Clean, at least once, the drill hole with a hybrid brush. NOTE: The diameter of the brush must be larger than the diameter of the drill hole.

02-en-AnchorFix-1-8_2_deck4-24

3. IMPORTANT Use oil free compressors. After cleaning the drill hole with the brush, clean the drill hole each time with a blow pump.

02-en-AnchorFix-1-8_3_deck4-24

4. Insert the perforated sleeve completely into the drill hole.
5. Pump the Product until both parts come out uniformly. Discard this material. Release the gun pressure and clean the cartridge nozzle with a cloth.
6. IMPORTANT Do NOT entrap air into the hole. Inject the Product into the perforated sleeve starting from the bottom, while slowly drawing back the static mixer.
7. Close the cap of the perforated sleeve to prevent adhesive from escaping when inserting the steel rod.
8. IMPORTANT The anchor must be placed within the open time. Insert the anchor with a rotary motion into the filled perforated sleeve. Use the appropriate steel rod size. NOTE: Some adhesive must come out of the hole.
9. Do NOT load or move the anchor during the hardening time.
