Material properties
- Pure epoxy resin – odor free – without any additional filling materials
- Free of solvents, thiol, phenol, styrene
- Extremely low shrinkage < 0.05% (23 x less than polyester or epoxy acrylate)
- Very easy to use with 450 ml cartridges – may be stored for up to 24 months
- Reliable mixture through 2:1 mixing ratio
- Curing at up to -22°C with maximum performance
- Optimized setting time ensures flexible reinforcement handling (20°C, F 100% = 12 h)
Technical properties
- Micro form fit with surrounding materials (20N/mm²)
- High compression strength of 115N/mm² – harder than concrete
- Load-bearing capacity not affected by frost / heat
- Short anchoring depth – no spreading pressure in the concrete
- Bonding force is not sensitive to concrete ageing
Application
- Drill hole for the respective construction steel diameter in the precise location
- Blow out twice with compressed air or rinse with water
- Brush out twice with the help of the cleaning brushes designed for the drilled hole
- Blow out or rinse out twice again
- Fill with EPCON C8 injection mortar and insert the reinforcement
- The material is suitable for use throughout the year from 5°C
- May also be used with damp undergrounds
