PRODUCT DATA SHEETSika® AnchorFix-1HIGH STRENGTH, TWO COMPONENT ADHESIVE ANCHORING SYSTEM

PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONSika® AnchorFix-1 adhesive anchoring system has beenspecially formulated as a high-performance, two com-ponent adhesive anchor system for threaded and rein-forcing bars in uncracked concrete.

USESSika® AnchorFix-1 may only be used by experienced pro-fessionals.As a fast curing anchoring adhesive for all grades of:

Rebars / reinforcing steel▪Threaded rods▪Bolts and special fastening systems▪

Can be used on:Uncracked Concrete▪Solid masonry▪Hard natural stone*▪Solid rock*▪

* These substrates may vary greatly, in particular with regardto strength, composition and porosity. Therefore, for each ap-plication the suitability of Sika® AnchorFix-1 Adhesive must betested by first applying Sika® AnchorFix-1 Adhesive only to asample area. Check in particular bond strength, surface stain-ing and discolouration.

CHARACTERISTICS / ADVANTAGESFast curing▪Standard guns can be used▪Can be used at low temperatures▪High load capacity▪Non-sag, even overhead▪Styrene-free polyester resin▪Low wastage▪

APPROVALS / STANDARDSEuropean Technical Approval (ETA) according toETAG001-5 for threaded bars only.

PRODUCT INFORMATIONPackaging 10.1 fl.oz. (299 ml)

Shelf Life 12 months from date of productionAll Sika® AnchorFix-1 cartridges have the expiry date printed on the label.

Storage Conditions Cartridges should be stored in their original packaging, the correct way up, incool conditions 41 °F to 77 °F (5 °C to 25 °C) out of direct sunlight.

TECHNICAL INFORMATIONTensile Adhesion Strength

The above values represent mean ultimate values and allowable w orking loads. The allowable working loadshave been reduced using a safety factor of 4.0 for tension and 3.0 for shear, however, in some cases, such aslife safety, safety factors of 10.0 or higher may be necessary.

1.

Allowable loads must be checked against steel capacity. The lowest value controls.2.Tabulated data is applicable to single anchors in normal weight concrete unaffected by edge or spacing re-duction factors. V alues are valid for anchors installed into dry concrete in holes drilled with a hammer drilland ANSI carbide drill bit.

3.

Service temperatures should remain approximately constant. The maximum long term temperature being122 °F and the maximum short term temperature being 176 °F. Short term temperatures are those that oc-cur over brief inte rvals, for example, diurnal cycling.

4.

Linear interpolation is allowed.5.

Service Temperature Long Term 40 °F (4 °C) min. / 122 °F(50 °C) max.

Short term (1–2 hours) 176 °F (80 °C)

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONSSUBSTRATE 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 substratestrength is unknown.

▪

The anchor hole must always be clean, dry, free fromoil and grease etc.

▪

Loose particles must be removed from the holes.▪Threaded rods and rebars have to be cleaned thor-oughly from any oil, grease or any other substancesand particles such as dirt etc.

MIXING

Getting the cartridge ready1. Unscrew the cap

2. Cut the film

3. Screw on the static mix-er

4. Place the cartridge intothe gun and start applica-tion

When the work is interrupted the static mixer can re-main on the cartridge after the gun pressure has beenrelieved. If the resin has hardened in the nozzle whenwork is resumed, a new nozzle must be attached.

APPLICATION METHOD / TOOLS

Anchors in solid masonry / concreteDrilling of hole with anelectric drill to the diamet-er and depth required.Drill hole diameter mustbe in accordance with an-chor size.

The drill hole must becleaned with a blow pumpor by compressed air,starting from the bottomof the hole. (at least 2x)Important: use oil-freecompressors.

The drill hole must bethoroughly cleaned withthe special steel brush(brush at least 2x). The dia-meter of the brush mustbe larger than the diamet-er of the drill hole.


The drill hole must bethoroughly cleaned withthe special steel brush(brush at least 2x). The dia-meter of the brush mustbe larger than the diamet-er of the drill hole.


Pump approx. twice untilboth parts come out uni-formly. Do not use this ma-terial. Release the gunpressure and clean thecartridge opening with acloth.

Inject the adhesive intothe hole, starting from thebottom, while slowlydrawing back the staticmixer.In any case avoid en-trapping air. For deepholes extension tubing canbe used.

Insert the anchor with arotary motion into thefilled drill hole. Some ad-hesive must come out ofthe hole.Important: the anchormust be placed within theopen time.

During the resin harden-ing time the anchor mustnot be moved or loaded.Wash tools immediatelywith Sika® Colma Cleaner.Wash hands and skin thor-oughly with warm soapwater.

CLEANING OF TOOLS

Tools must be cleaned as soon as possible with a cleanrag.
