Technical Information
# Characteristic Value
1 Compressive strength Curing time Compressive strength
3 d ≥ 35 MPa
7 d ≥ 55 MPa
(ASTM D695)
All values at curing temperature +30 °C
2 Tensile strength ≥ 18 MPa (14 days / +30 °C)
3 Tensile adhesion strength ≥ 10 MPa (14 days, moist cure / +30 °C)
Application Information
# Characteristic Value
1 Mixing ratio Part A : Part B = 2 : 1 (by weight)
2 Consumption ~0.3–0.5 kg/m2
This figure is theoretical and does not allow for any additional material due to surface porosity,
surface profile, variations in level or wastage etc.
3 Ambient air temperature +5 °C min. / +40 °C max.
4 Dew point Beware of condensation. Steel substrate temperature during application must be at least +3 °C above dew point.
5 Substrate temperature +5 °C min. / +40 °C max
6 Substrate moisture content Cementitious substrates must be dry or matt damp (no standing water). Brush the adhesive well into the substrate if matt damp.
7 Pot life 4 hours at +30 °C (FIP 5.1) The potlife begins when the resin and hardener are mixed. It is shorter at high temperatures and longer at low temperatures. The greater the quantity mixed, the shorter the potlife. To obtain longer workability at high temperatures, the mixed adhesive may be divided into portions. Another method is to chill parts A+B before mixing them (not below +5 °C).
8 Open time > 7 hours at +30 °C
