CA Poly

Two-component polyester resin-based chemical anchor without styrene for fixing medium-light loads on un-cracked concrete, solid and perforated brick masonry and autoclaved cell concrete. It can be used in combination with threaded rods in common carpentry, where there is a need for quick commissioning.

Instructions for use

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Threaded rods must be clean and free from oil, grease or rust
4. For anchors more than 15 cm deep use a spout extension by cutting it to size.
5. For hollow brick substrates, insert the cage (or the wire mesh plug or wire braiding) into the hole to prevent the resin from spreading into the cavities.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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
9. 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.
10. 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. When you see a slight excess of resin coming out, you can be assured that your anchor is perfect.
11. Remove excess resin from the hole either immediately with paper or mechanically with a chisel after hardening.
12. Depending on the different temperatures of the substrate, observe the installation and hardening times indicated below before clamping and loading.
13. 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 CA Poly is stable for at least 12 months.

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 fixing on completely wet or submerged surfaces
• for surface applications (with UV exposure)
• for making joints close to cracks/fissures between plates
