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.

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.

02-en-AnchorFix-1-10_1_Deck4-24

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.

02-en-AnchorFix-1-10_2_deck4-24

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.

02-en-AnchorFix-1-10_3_Deck4-24

    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.

    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.

    02-en-AnchorFix-1-10_2_deck4-24

    7. Pump the Product until both parts come out uniformly. Release the gun pressure and clean the cartridge nozzle with a cloth.02-en-AnchorFix-1-10_7_deck4-24

    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.02-en-AnchorFix-1-10_8_deck4-24

    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.02-en-AnchorFix-1-10_9_deck4-24

    10. Do not load or move the anchor during the hardening time.02-en-AnchorFix-1-10_10_deck4-24
