USES

• Threaded rod anchoring
• Rebar doweling
• Bonding hardened concrete to hardened concrete
• Pick-proof sealant around doors, windows and fixtures
• Paste-over for crack injection.

APPLICATION

Surfaces to receive epoxy must be clean. The base material temperature must be 40ºF or above at the time of installation. For best results, material should be 70ºF–80ºF at the time of application. Cartridges should not be immersed in water to facilitate warming. To warm cold material, the cartridges should be stored in warm, uniformly heated area or storage container for a sufficient time to allow epoxy to warm completely. Mixed material in nozzle can harden in 5-7 minutes at a temperature of 40ºF or above.

TEST CRITERIA

Anchors installed with EDOT™ Epoxy-Tie® adhesive have been tested in accordance with ASTM E488, ASTM E1512 and ICC-ES's Acceptance Criteria for Adhesive Anchors (AC58) for the following:

• Tension and shear loading
• Long-term creep at elevated temperature
• Damp holes

SHELF LIFE

24 months from date of manufacture in unopened container.

STORAGE CONDITIONS

For best results, store between 45ºF–90ºF. To store partially used cartridges, leave hardened nozzle in place. To re-use, attach new nozzle.

COLOR

Resin – white, hardener – brown
When properly mixed, EDOT adhesive will be a uniform and consistent tan color.

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.), lacquer thinner, or adhesive remover can be used. DO NOT USE SOLVENTS TO CLEAN ADHESIVE FROM SKIN. Take appropriate precautions when handling fl ammable 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, dilute inorganic acids and alkalis. Fair to good against organic acids and alkalis, and many organic solvents. poor against ketones. For more detailed information contact Simpson Strong-Tie.
