Description

Two-component, styrene-free, vinylester resin-based chemical anchoring agent for structural fixing of heavy loads on cracked/non-cracked concrete, solid and hollow brick masonry, timber. Thanks to its fast hardening, it can be used where there is a need for quick commissioning and in any case for anchors with a sinking depth of up to 1 metre. It can be applied even if the temperature of the substrate reaches critical values (-10 to +40 °C). In case of wet substrates and with flooded hole, the certification includes the use of threaded rods and in any case the loading time will be double. The product, depending on the diameter of threaded rods or improved adhesion rods used, is qualified according to the European Technical Assessment (ETA) for applications on cracked concrete (option 1), non-cracked concrete (option 7), even if the work falls under seismic category C1 C2.

Instructions for use

Drill a hole in the substrate, in orthogonal direction, respecting the prescribed drilling diameter and depth; rotary-percussion tools are recommended for compact substrates. Use a drill with simple rotation for hollow brick supports, in order not to break the internal baffles of the bricks.
Carefully remove the dust, or other residual material, from the hole using a blower pump or compressed air and metal brush: a suitable level of cleaning is obtained by performing at least 4 blows, 4 brushings and 4 blows in sequence. Before brushing, clean the brush and check that its diameter is sufficient.
Threaded rods or improved adhesion rods must be clean and free from oil, grease or rust.
For anchors more than 15 cm deep use a spout extension by cutting it to size.
For hollow brick substrates, insert the cage (or the wire mesh plug or wire braiding) into the hole to prevent the resin from subsequently being dispersed into the cavities.
If the hole is drilled at a point where the substrate is not drilled, for example on the mortar between two bricks, do not use the cage and perform the installation as on a compact substrate.
For the 300 ml cartridge: unscrew the cap, insert the mixer in the slot of the yellow extractor and pull so as to remove the metal clip closing the bag (for the 400 ml cartridge, simply unscrew the cap). Wearing adequate hand and face protective equipment, screw on the mixer and insert the cartridge into the dedicated gun.
Extrude the resin and discard the first part of the product that has not been perfectly mixed until the resin coming out is evenly coloured (usually the first 3-5 full pumps are discarded). For a reduced dispensing effort store the cartridges at a temperature between 15 and 25 °C
9a. In case of compact substrates, inject the resin starting from the bottom, filling the hole for about 2/3 and going up with the mixer.
9b. In case of hollow brick supports, dispense a sufficient quantity of resin to make it come out from the mesh of the cage in an adequate quantity: to increase the seal, increase the quantity of extruded resin so that the bulb doubles.

For a better distribution of the anchoring agent and to allow the air bubbles, if any, to come out, insert the rod by screwing it in slightly after marking it with the correct anchor depth. When you see a slight excess of resin coming out, you can be assured that your anchor is perfect.
Remove excess resin from the hole either immediately with paper or mechanically with a chisel after hardening.
Depending on the different temperatures of the substrate, observe the installation and hardening times indicated below before clamping and loading. In case of flooded hole double the time.
If the resin inside the mixing spout is hardened, to use it again you will need a new mixer, always taking care to eliminate the first part of the unevenly coloured product (see point 8).

Storage

Store between +5 and +30 °C, away from UV rays. When stored in a dry and covered place in its original sealed packaging Xtreme Grip Vinylester is stable for:

at least 12 months in 300 ml cartridges
at least 16 months in 400 ml cartridges.

Warnings

Do not use the product:

for anchoring on holes made with a core drill
on dusty or oil-contaminated surfaces, release agents, etc.
for surface applications (with UV exposure)
for creating joints close to cracks/fissures between plates
for anchors with a sinking depth of more than 1 metre

In case of doubt, contact our Technical Department.

Application areas

Combined with threaded rods or improved adhesion rods, it can be used for many cases of heavy load fastening or where, due to the presence of critical temperatures (< 0 °C or > 30 °C), the use of other types of anchors is impossible. Thanks to its styrene-free chemistry it can be used in closed environments as well.

Global safety factor included
For water-filled borehole, recommended load reduction of 20 %
Due to the variety of timber supports, should the application be on other substrates not considered, an appropriate suitability test must be carried out beforehand
