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
Note: Test if the Product is suitable for the substrate
Due to the variety of possible substrates, the Product's suitabilityfor the substrate must be confirmed before application, particu-larly in terms of desired bond strength, composition, porosity, po-tential surface staining or discolouration.
a) 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 ac-cordance with the anchor size. Drill a hole with an electric drill to the diameter and depthspecified in the Technical Documentation listed in the sectionFurther 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 steel brush. Note: The diameter of the brush must be larger than the dia-meter of the drill hole and the hole must be cleaned a min-imum 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 steel brush. Note: The diameter of the brush must be larger than the dia-meter of the drill hole and the hole must be cleaned a min-imum 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. IMPORTANT Do not use this material. Pump the Product until both parts come out uniformly. Re-lease 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 bottomwhile slowly drawing back the static mixer. Note: For deep holes extension tubing can be used. | |
9. IMPORTANT The anchor must be placed within the opentime. 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. 11. Immediately clean tools with Sika® Colma Cleaner. 12. Wash hands and skin thoroughly with warm soap water. |
CLEANING OF TOOLS
Clean all tools and application equipment with Sika® Colma Cleaner immediately after use. Hardened material can only be removed mechanically.
