EPCON C8

EPCON C8 injection mortar for reinforcement connections to be installed later and that are exposed to extreme demands on strength.

EPCON C8 System

• General Technical Approval No. Z-21.8-1866
• European Technical Approval ETA-07/0189
• For creating overlapping connections with reinforcements located in the building element
• Reliable handling using the EPCON C8 mastic gun
• EPCON C8 Connection Kit case with complete system accessories
• Individual user training with certification (proof of suitability for the firm carrying out the work) through independent institutions.

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
