How to use
To use the resin, first ensure the hole is drilled to the correct diameter and depth. Clean the hole thoroughly using a brush and air pump to remove all dust and debris, as this is critical for a strong bond. Insert the cartridge into a standard applicator gun, attach the mixing nozzle, and dispense the initial amount of resin until the color is uniform. Inject the resin into the hole starting from the bottom, then insert the rod or rebar with a slight twisting motion. Allow the resin to cure fully according to the temperature-dependent setting times before applying any load.
What to consider before purchase
- Check the compatibility of the resin with your specific substrate material
- Ensure you have a compatible applicator gun for the 175ml cartridge
- Verify the required curing time based on the ambient temperature at your job site
Usage recommendations
Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves and safety glasses, during application. Store the cartridge in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the shelf life and performance of the resin.
