Epoxy-Tie SET epoxy is a two-component, low odor, 1:1 ratio, 100% solids epoxy-based adhesive for use as a high strength, non-shrink anchor grouting material. Resin and hardener are dispensed and mixed simultaneously through the mixing nozzle. SET meets or exceeds the ASTM C-881 specification for Type I, II, IV and V, Grade 3, Class B and C.

USES

• Threaded rod anchoring
• Rebar dowelling
• 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. For installations in or through standing water, see Adhesive Anchors Application Guidelines 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.

INSTALLATION

SHELF LIFE

24 months from date of manufacture in unopened side-by-side cartridge. SET-PAC-EZ cartridge - 18 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.

TEST CRITERIA

Anchors installed with Epoxy-Tie (SET) adhesive have been tested in accordance with ICC-ES's Acceptance Criteria for Adhesive Anchors in Concrete and Masonry Elements (AC58). ICC-ES report ESR-1772 recognizes Epoxy-Tie (SET) adhesive for the following:

• Seismic and 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 Epoxy-Tie (SET) 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 100% 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 Epoxy-Tie SET from Simpson Strong-Tie, Pleasanton, CA. Anchors shall be installed per Simpson Strong-Tie's instructions for Epoxy-Tie SET.

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-CHEMRES (PDF).

In-Service Temperature Sensitivity

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

IMPROPERLY PREPARED HOLES

1. Hole depth was over-drilled to account for dust in hole to achieve required embedment depth.

Optional testing with SET adhesive was done in compliance with ASTM E488 to determine the effect of concrete dust left in the hole on the performance of this adhesive. The load adjustment factors in the table were developed from the results of those tests.
