USES

Sika AnchorFix® S may only be used by experienced professionals.

As a fast curing anchoring adhesive for all grades of:

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

In the following substrates:

• Concrete
• Hollow and solid masonry
• Hard natural stone*
• Solid rock*

* These substrates may vary greatly, in particular with regard to strength, composition and porosity. Therefore, for each application the suitability of Sika Sika AnchorFix® S adhesive must be tested by first applying the Product only to a sample area. Check in particular bond strength, surface staining and discolouration.

APPROVALS / STANDARDS

• The standard cure time for most fresh concrete or masonry applications is generally considered to be 28 days at 23oC and relative humidity 50%. It should be allowed to cure until moisture content is below 8% and pH value below 9.
• Repair and seal cracks or holes. Loose concrete and residues on the concrete surface to be painted should be removed as completely as possible
• Etch the surface with 5% hydrochloric acid solution for 3 to 5 minutes and flush off thoroughly to remove acid residue and salt deposits that may have formed after etching. The purposes of acid etching are to neutralize the surface and to remove any glaze or contaminant. However, acid etching will not remove oil or grease. Therefore, the concrete should be scrubbed clean with detergent/soap prior to acid etching. The surface must be rinsed immediately after acid etching is performed to avoid formation of salts on the surface, which are difficult to remove
• The surface should be cleaned and must be allowed to dry thoroughly prior to painting.

For Old or Repainting Concrete Floor

• CE marking and Declaration of Performance as Bonded injection type anchor for use in uncracked concrete according to EAD 330499-00-0601, based on ETA-13/0721 of 18/05/2018 and certificate of constancy of performance of the construction product issued by notified product certification body.
