SUBSTRATE QUALITY
Mortar and concrete must be older than 28 days.
Substrate strength (concrete, masonry, natural stone)
must be verified. Pull-out tests must be carried out if the
substrate strength is unknown. The anchor hole must
always be clean, dry, free from oil and grease etc. Loose
particles must be removed from the holes.
Threaded rods and rebars have to be cleaned thoroughly
from any oil, grease or any other substances and
particles such as dirt etc.
MIXING
Getting the cartridge ready
1. Unscrew the cap
2. Cut the film
3. Screw on the static
mixer
4. Place the cartridge into
the gun and start
application
When the work is interrupted the static mixer can
remain on the cartridge after the gun pressure has been
relieved. If the resin has hardened in the nozzle when
work is resumed, a new nozzle must be attached.

APPLICATION METHOD / TOOLS
8
Anchors in solid masonry/concrete:
Drilling of hole with an
electric drill to the
diameter and depth
required. Drill hole
diameter must be in
accordance with anchor
size.
The drill hole must be
cleaned with a blow pump
or by compressed air,
starting from the bottom
of the hole. (at least 2×)
Important: use oil-free
compressors.
The drill hole must be
thoroughly cleaned with
the special steel brush
(brush at least 2×). The
diameter of the brush
must be larger than the
diameter of the drill hole.
The drill hole must be
cleaned with a blow pump
or by compressed air,
starting from the bottom
of the hole (at least 2×).
Important: use oil-free
compressors.
The drill hole must be
thoroughly cleaned with
the special steel brush
(brush at least 2×). The
diameter of the brush
must be larger than the
diameter of the drill hole.
The drill hole must be
cleaned with a blow pump
or by compressed air,
starting from the bottom
of the hole (at least 2×).
Important: use oil-free
compressors.
Pump approx. twice until
both parts come out
uniformly. Do not use this
material. Release the gun
pressure and clean the
cartridge opening with a
cloth.
Inject the adhesive into
the hole, starting from the
bottom, while slowly
drawing back the static
mixer.In any case avoid
entrapping air. For deep
holes extension tubing can
be used.
Insert the anchor with a
rotary motion into the
filled drill hole. Some
adhesive must come out
of the hole.
Important: the anchor
must be placed within the
open time.
During the resin hardening
time the anchor must not
be moved or loaded. Wash
tools immediately with
Sika® Colma Cleaner.
Wash hands and skin
thoroughly with warm
soap water.
CLEANING OF TOOLS
Tools must be cleaned as soon as possible with a clean
rag.
