Sika AnchorFix 2020 High Performance, Professional Anchoring Adhesive - 10.1 Fluid Ounce Cartridge

Sika AnchorFix-2020 is a proprietary, two-component, thixotropic, fast curing, anchoring adhesive for anchoring threaded rods and reinforcing bars in both uncracked and cracked concrete. For use in cold to moderate climate conditions. For professional use, only.

Applications

• Fast curing adhesive for anchors
• Structural work
• Steel reinforcement dowels in new construction and refurbishment projects
• Steel threaded rods
• Threaded bolts and other special fastening hardware (e.g. screens as supplied by others)
• Metalwork
• Handrails, balustrades and supports
• Railing baseplates
• Window and door frames
• Substrates; concrete (uncracked and cracked), solid masonry, wood, hard natural stone, solid bedrock

Limitations

• Solid masonry, wood, natural stone and solid bedrock properties vary, particularly with regard to strength, composition and porosity. Mock installation(s) in representative sample substrate(s) must be physically tested for tensile performance (i.e. pull-out bond strength or proof load) to determine the suitability of Sika AnchorFix-2020 before committing to full project application.
• Sika AnchorFix-2020 is not intended as a cosmetic or decorative material and when anchoring into porous substrates (e.g. natural or reconstituted stone), staining or discoloration may occur. Where this is of concern, it is recommended that a small scale mock up is installed and evaluated before application.
• Store material to above 41 °F. For ease of application by manual dispensers, precondition to higher temperatures, for example 73 °F when working at low ambient temperatures. The higher the cartridge temperature, the easier to dispense. Take into consideration reduced gel times.
• Minimum age of concrete must be 21 to 28 days, depending on curing and drying conditions.
• Do not thin; solvents will prevent proper cure. Standard and quality of dispensing tool will impact ease of extrusion, especially when using a manual, standard, high quality caulk gun. Ensure the mechanical advantage is appropriate, piston is correctly aligned and even pressure is achievable.
• Sika AnchorFix-2020 must only be applied into anchor holes that are frost-free.
• Not recommended for overhead applications by Sika Corporation.
