Application procedure

Anchor preparation: The support must be dry or slightly wet, free of dust, grease, paint and friable material.

The dust residuals of the drilling should be cleaned by blowing or by air under pressure. Metal elements should be clean from oxides and grease.

The hole diameter and its depth are shown in the annexed Table 2.

Application: In the case of hollow materials, the drilling machine must be provided with a perforated sleeve, leaving the cap open to insert the mixing nozzle. Inject the adhesive in 2/3
parts of the hole, starting from the bottom. Close the sleeve cap and place the element to anchor, rotating slightly. During the hardening time the anchor must not be loaded.

After the application, insert the safety cap and screw the exterior cap of the cartridge in order to keep the material within. Never use the same mixer again.

Recommended for

• Concrete, rock, masonry, stone and wood anchoring.
  
• Fixing of plates or panels on facades.
  
• Fixing of corrugated reinforcing steel and threaded rods in tunnels, bridges, etc.
  
• Railway fixing.
  
• Fixing in aggressive environment.
