Acrylic-Tie is a two component, 10:1 ratio acrylic based adhesive for use as a high strength, anchor grouting material. Formulated for use in all types of weather, AT is designed to dispense easily and cure at temperatures down to 0°F. Resin and initiator are dispensed and mixed simultaneously through the mixing nozzle. AT meets the physical requirements of ASTM C881, Type I & IV, Grade 3, Classes A, B & C, except Acrylic-Tie is a non-epoxy product formulated for fast cure time.

USES

• Threaded rod anchoring
• Rebar dowelling
• Pick proof sealant around doors, windows and fixtures

APPLICATION

Surfaces to receive adhesive must be clean and free of frost. The base material temperature must be 0° F or above at the time of installation. For information on installations below 0° F contact Simpson. Mixed material in nozzle can harden in 5–7 minutes. For installations in or through standing water, see Adhesive Anchors Application Guidelines for details.

SHELF LIFE

Twelve months from date of manufacture in unopened cartridge.

STORAGE CONDITIONS

For best results store between 32° F - 80° F. Partially used cartridges can be stored for a limited time by leaving nozzle in place. To re-use, attach new nozzle.

COLOR

Resin — white; Initiator — black. When properly mixed, adhesive will be a uniform gray color.

TEST CRITERIA

Anchors installed with Acrylic-Tie adhesive have been tested in accordance with ICC-ES's Acceptance Criteria for Adhesive Anchors in Concrete and Masonry Elements (AC58). In addition to static loads, ICC-ES report ER-5791 recognizes Acrylic-Tie adhesive for the following:

• Seismic/Wind Loading.
• Long Term Creep at Elevated Temperature.
• Static Loading at Elevated Temperature.
• Damp and Water-Filled Holes.
• Freeze-Thaw Conditions.
• Critical and Minimum Edge Distance and Spacing.

In addition, anchors installed with Acrylic-Tie adhesive have been tested in accordance with ICC-ES's Acceptance Criteria for Unreinforced Masonry Anchors (AC60) and NSF/ANSI Standard 61, Drinking Water System Components - Health Effects.

CLEAN UP

Uncured material – Wipe up with cotton cloths. If desired scrub area with abrasive, waterbased cleaner and flush with water. If approved, solvents such as ketones (MEK, acetone, etc.), laquer thinner, or adhesive remover can be used. DO NOT USE SOLVENTS TO CLEAN ADHESIVE FROM SKIN. Take appropriate precautions when handling flammable solvents. Solvents may damage surfaces to which they are applied. Cured Material: Chip or grind off surface.

CHEMICAL RESISTANCE

Very good to excellent against distilled water and inorganic acids. Fair to good against organic acids and alkalis, inorganic alkalis, and many organic solvents. Poor against Ketones. For more detailed information contact Simpson or see Technical Bulletin T-SAS-CHEMRES.

SUGGESTED SPECIFICATIONS

Anchoring Adhesive shall be a two-component acrylic based system supplied in manufacturer's standard side-by-side or coaxial cartridge and dispensed through a static-mixing nozzle supplied by the manufacturer. Adhesive shall meet the physical requirements of ASTM C-881 for Type I and IV, Grade 3, Class A, B and C and must develop a minimum 10,210 psi compressive yield strength after 7 day cure. Adhesive must have a heat deflection temperature of a minimum 149°F (65°C). Adhesive shall be Acrylic-Tie from Simpson Strong-Tie, Pleasanton, CA. Anchors shall be installed per Simpson Strong-Tie's instructions for Acrylic-Tie.

In-Service Temperature Sensitivity

1. Refer to in-service temperature sensitivity chart for allowable bond strength reduction for in-service temperature. See this page for more information.
2. T_inst is the base material temperature during installation and curing of the adhesive.
3. Percent allowable load for T_inst = 0°F is to be used for T_inst between 0°F and 70°F.
4. Percent allowable load may be linearly interpolated for intermediate base material in-service temperatures.
5. °C = (°F - 32) / 1.8
