Xtreme Epoxy 100

A two-component, pure epoxy chemical anchor, styrene-free. Product certified under the European Technical Assessment (ETA) for anchoring in concrete in accordance with EAD 330499-01-0601 and EAD 330087-01-0601, in accordance with the Construction Products Regulation 305/2011. Also suitable for fixing to masonry and timber and for consolidation works. Service life of 100 years compared to the standard value of 50 years, ideal for major projects. Seismic classification C2 for threaded bars and for post-installed connections of bars with improved bond. Application is possible overhead thanks to its thixotropic properties. It can also be applied even when the substrates are wet and the hole is flooded, including underwater fixings, without doubling the time required for load-bearing. Thanks to its high bond strength, it can be applied to perfectly smooth holes created by diamond core drilling. Thanks to its slow curing, it can be used for anchors with hole depths of up to 2.5 metres. It nevertheless offers reduced tightening times to increase productivity on site. It can also be used as a repair and filling compound. Environmental qualifications relating to VOC emissions: LEED GOLD and compliant with CAM requirements.

Instructions for use

1. Drill a hole in the support at right angles, ensuring that the prescribed diameter and depth are adhered to.
2. Carefully remove dust or other residual material from the hole using a blow gun or compressed air and a wire brush: an adequate level of cleanliness is achieved by performing at least 4 blasts, 4 brushings and 4 blasts in sequence.
3. Threaded bars or bars with improved adhesion must be clean and free from oil, grease or rust.
4. For anchors deeper than 15 cm, we recommend using a nozzle extension, cut to size.
5. Screw on the mixer (Chemical Anchor Mixer) and insert the cartridge into the dedicated gun, wearing hand and face protection.
6. Extrude the resin using the Xtreme 585 gun and discard the first portion of the product that is not perfectly mixed until resin of a uniform colour emerges (generally, the first 3–5 full pumps are discarded). To minimise dispensing effort, store the cartridges at a temperature between 15 and 25 °C.
7. In the case of a solid substrate, inject the resin starting from the bottom, filling the hole to about two-thirds full and working upwards with the mixer.
8. For better distribution of the anchor and to allow any air bubbles to escape, insert the bar, screwing it in slightly after marking it with the correct anchoring depth. A slight excess of resin oozing out provides visual confirmation that the anchoring is optimal.
9. Depending on the substrate temperature, observe the setting and curing times indicated below before applying tension and load.
10. If the resin inside the mixing nozzle has hardened, subsequent use will require a new mixer, taking care to remove the first portion of product, which may be of uneven colour.

Storage

When stored in a dry, sheltered place in its original, unopened packaging, Xtreme Epoxy 100 has a shelf life of at least 14 months.

Warnings

• Do not use on surfaces contaminated with oil, grease or release agents, as these may prevent or reduce adhesion.
• Store the product within the specified temperature range.
• Do not apply loads to the joint until it has fully cured.
