Tested to Meet IBC2006SET-XP™ Structural Epoxy-Tie Anchoring Adhesive

for Cracked and Uncracked Concrete

SET-XP is a 1:1 two component, 100% solids epoxy-based anchoring adhesive formulated for optimum performance in both cracked and uncracked concrete. SET-XP has been rigorously tested in accordance with ICC-ES AC308 and 2006 IBC requirements and has proven to offer increased reliability in the most adverse conditions, including performance in cracked concrete under static and seismic loading. SET-XP is teal in color in order to be identified as a high performance adhesive for adverse conditions. Resin and hardener are dispensed and mixed simultaneously through the mixing nozzle.

USES

  • When SET-XP is used with the IXP anchor, all thread rod, or rebar, the system can be used in tension and seismic zones where there is a risk of cracks occurring that pass through the anchor location. It is also suitable for uncracked concrete conditions.

CODE REPORTS

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 45º F or above at the time of installation. For best results, material should be 70-80º 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 40º F or above.

TEST CRITERIA

Anchors installed with SET-XP™ Epoxy-Tie® adhesive have been tested in accordance with ICC-ES’s Acceptance Criteria for Post-Installed Adhesive Anchors in Concrete Elements (AC308) for the following:

  • Seismic Loading in Cracked Concrete
  • Static and Cyclic Cracks
  • Horizontal and Overhead Installations
  • Long Term Creep at Elevated Temperatures
  • Static Loading at Elevated Temperatures
  • Damp Holes
  • Freeze–Thaw Conditions
  • Critical and Minimum Edge Distance and Spacing

INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT For installation instructions, click here.

SHELF LIFE

24 months from date of manufacture in unopened side-by-side cartridge.

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-green. Mixed epoxy will dispense and cure to a teal 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, in-organic acids and alkalis. Fair to good against organic acids and alkalis, and many organic solvents. Poor against Ketones. For more detailed information contact Simpson.
