SUBSTRATE QUALITY
Mortar and concrete must be older than 28 days. Substrate strength (concrete, masonry, natural stone) must be verified. Pull-out tests must be carried out if the substrate strength is unknown. The anchor hole must always be clean, dry, free from oil and grease etc. Loose particles must be removed from the holes.
Threaded rods and rebars have to be cleaned thoroughly from any oil, grease or any other substances and particles such as dirt etc.
MIXING
Getting the cartridge ready: 300 ml / 550 ml
1. Unscrew the cap |
2. Cut the film |
3. Screw on the static mixer |
4. Place the cartridge into the gun and start application |
When the work is interrupted the static mixer can remain on the cartridge after the gun pressure has been relieved. If the resin has hardened in the nozzle when work is resumed, a new nozzle must be attached.
CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT
Clean all tools and application equipment with Sika® Colma Cleaner immediately after use. Hardened / cured material can only be mechanically removed.
