APPLICATION

Surfaces to receive epoxy must be clean. For installations in or through standing water, see Supplemental Topics for Adhesive Anchors for details. The base material temperature must be 40° F or above at the time of installation. For best results, material should be 70° - 80° F 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 a 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 40° F or above.

TEST CRITERIA

Anchors installed with SET Epoxy-Tie® adhesive have been tested in accordance with ICC-ES's Acceptance Criteria for Adhesive Anchors (AC58) 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 SET Epoxy-Tie® adhesive have been tested in accordance with ICC-ES's Acceptance Criteria for Unreinforced Masonry Anchors (AC60).

SUGGESTED SPECIFICATIONS

Anchoring adhesive shall be a two-component high-solids epoxy based system supplied in manufacturer's standard cartridge and dispensed through a static-mixing nozzle supplied by the manufacturer. Epoxy shall meet the minimum requirements of ASTM C-881 specification for Type I, II, IV, and V, Grade 3, Class B and C and must develop a minimum 12,650 psi compressive yield strength after 7 day cure. Epoxy must have a heat deflection temperature of a minimum 136°F (58°C). Adhesive shall be SET Epoxy-Tie® adhesive from Simpson Strong-Tie, Pleasanton, CA. Anchors shall be installed per Simpson Strong-Tie instructions for SET Epoxy-Tie® adhesive.

SHELF LIFE

24 months from date of manufacture in unopened side-by-side cartridge. SET-PAC EZ™ cartridge - 24 months from date of manufacture, unopened.

STORAGE CONDITIONS

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

COLOR

Resin – white, hardener – black
When properly mixed SET adhesive will be a uniform light gray 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 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, inorganic acids and alkalis. Fair to good against organic acids and alkalis, and many organic solvents. Poor against ketones. For more detailed information download Technical Bulletin T-SAS-CHEMRES08 (PDF).

In-Service Temperature Sensitivity

1. Refer to temperature sensitivity chart for allowable bond strength reduction for temperature. See Supplemental Topics for Adhesive Anchors.
2. Percent allowable load may be linearly interpolated for intermediate base material temperatures.
3. °C = (°F-32) / 1.8
