Sika AnchorFix®-1

Sika AnchorFix®-1
Fast curing anchoring adhesive

Product Solvent- and styrene free based two part polyester anchoring adhesive.
Description
Construction

Uses As a fast curing anchoring adhesive for all grades of:

 Rebars / reinforcing steel
 Threaded rods
 Bolts and special fastening systems
 Concrete
 Hollow and solid masonry

®
Prior to any application, the suitability of the Sika AnchorFix Adhesive for the
substrate in terms of the desired bond strength, and for the prevention of surface
staining or discolouration, must be confirmed by testing in a sample area. This is
due to the wide variation of possible substrates, particularly in terms of strength,
composition and porosity:
 Hard natural stone
 Solid rock
Characteristics /  Fast curing
Advantages  Standard guns can be used
 Can be used at low temperatures
 High load capacity
 Non-sag, even overhead
 Styrene-free
 Low odour
 Low wastage
 No transportation restrictions

The indicated filling quantities are calculated without wastage. Wastage 10 - 50%.
The filled quantity can be monitored during injection with the help of the scale
on the catridge label.
Substrate Quality Mortar and concrete must be at the required strength. No need to be 28 days old.
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.

Application
Instructions
Mixing Part A : part B = 10 : 1 by volume
Mixing Tools Getting the cartridge ready:

Unscrew and remove the cap

Cut the film

Screw on the static mixer

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.

Application Method / Anchors in solid masonry/concrete:
Tools
Drilling of hole with an electric drill to the diameter and depth
required. Drill hole diameter must be in accordance with anchor
size.

The drill hole must be cleaned with a blow pump or by

compressed air, starting from the bottom of the hole. (at least 2x)
Important: use oil-free compressors!

The drill hole must be thoroughly cleaned with the special steel
brush (brush at least 2x). The diameter of the brush must be
larger than the diameter of the drill hole.

The drill hole must be cleaned with a blow pump or by

compressed air, starting from the bottom of the hole. (at least 2x)
Important: use oil-free compressors!
The drill hole must be thoroughly cleaned with the special steel
brush (brush at least 2x). The diameter of the brush must be
larger than the diameter of the drill hole.

The drill hole must be cleaned with a blow pump or by

compressed air, starting from the bottom of the hole. (at least 2x)
Important: use oil-free compressors!
Pump approx. twice until both parts come out uniformly. Do not
use this material. Release the gun pressure and clean the
cartridge opening with a cloth.

Inject the adhesive into the hole, starting from the bottom, while
slowly drawing back the static mixer.In any case avoid entrapping
air. For deep holes extension tubing can be used.

Insert the anchor with a rotary motion into the filled drill hole.
Some adhesive must come out of the hole.
Important: the anchor must be placed within the open time.
During the resin hardening time the anchor must not be moved or
®
loaded. Wash tools immediately with Sika Colma Cleaner.
Wash hands and skin thoroughly with warm soap water.

6 Sika AnchorFix®-1 6/8

 Anchors in hollow blocks:

Drilling of hole with an electric drill to the diameter and depth

required. Drill hole diameter must be in accordance with anchor-
and perforated sleeve size.
Note: with hollow material do not use rotary hammer drills.

The drill hole must be thoroughly cleaned with a round brush

(brush at least 1x). The diameter of the brush must be larger than
the diameter of the drill hole.

The drill hole must be cleaned after each cleaning step with a
blow pump or by compressed air, starting from the bottom of the
hole (pump at least 1x).
Important: use oil-free compressors!

Insert perforated sleeve completely into the drill hole.

Pump approx. twice until both parts come out uniformly. Do not
use this material. Release the gun pressure and clean the
cartridge opening with a cloth.

Inject the adhesive into the perforated sleeve, starting from the
bottom, while slowly drawing back the static mixer. In any case
avoid entrapping air.

Close the cap from the perforated sleeve to avoid some escape of
the resin during entering the steel rod.

Insert the anchor with a rotary motion into the filled perforated
sleeve. Use the adequate steel rod size.
Important: the anchor must be placed within the open time.

During the resin hardening time the anchor must not be moved or
®
loaded. Wash tools immediately with Sika Colma Cleaner.
Wash hands and skin thoroughly with warm soap water.

®
Cleaning of Tools Clean and tools and application equipment with Sika Colma Cleaner immediately
after use. Hardened / cured material can only be mechanically removed.
