Beware of condensation. Substrate temperature during application must be at least +3 °C above dew point.

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.

Natural stone, reconstituted stone, and solid rock vary significantly in terms of strength, composition, and porosity.

For each application, the suitability of the Product must be tested for bond strength, surface staining and discoloration by applying the Product to a sample area before full project application.

GETTING THE CARTRIDGE READY: 300 ML, 550 ML AND 850 ML

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

GETTING THE CARTRIDGE READY: 350 ML

When the work is interrupted, the static mixer nozzle can remain on the cartridge after the gun pressure has been released. If the resin has hardened in the nozzle when work is resumed, a new nozzle must be attached.

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.
2. IMPORTANT Use oil-free compressors. Clean the drill hole with an air lance, pressure: 6 Bar (90 psi), starting from the bottom of the hole. Note The hole must be cleaned a minimum of two times until return air stream is free of dust.
3. Thoroughly clean the drill hole with the steel 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 an air lance, pressure: 6 Bar (90 psi), starting from the bottom of the hole. Note The hole must be cleaned a minimum of two times until return air stream is free of dust.
5. Thoroughly clean the drill hole with the steel 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 an air lance, pressure: 6 Bar (90 psi), starting from the bottom of the hole. Note The hole must be cleaned a minimum of two times until return air stream is free of dust.
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.

Clean all tools and application equipment with Sika® Colma Cleaner immediately after use. Hardened material can only be removed mechanically.
