- Compatible Substrates & Surfaces
- Use
- Ipanol Anchoring Gel is ideal for mechanically grouting dowels, pins and bolts.
- Other applications include: Cap sealing and port setting.
- Grouting of large cracks as well as pressure injection.
- Bonding irregular surfaces and as a pick proof sealant.
- Surface Preparation
Substrate must be cleaned of any film, scale, loose material, oils, grease and any other foreign material that will prohibit bond. Surface preparation must be achieved by mechanical means and methods. Sandblasting and/or other approved mechanical methods.
- Mixing
Ipanol Anchoring Gel is dispensed from cartridges eliminating mixing and measuring. Remove D plugs from small end of cartridge, insert cartridge into a suitable gun and purge the cartridge until a consistent distribution of the two components is achieved. Secure static mixer to cartridge by screwing the nozzle onto the cartridge. The static mixer tip has notches at the end. They me be cut back for even easier gunning. Extrude epoxy until a uniform gray color is achieved. Do not use epoxy with color streaks. Dispense under a constant uniform pressure. If dispensing is altered, re-establish a uniform gray color prior to continuing. When using a handgun, release pressure from gun by pressing thumb button at every pause in dispensing, otherwise, re-establish uniform gray color prior to continuing.
- Applications
To anchor bolts, dowels, & pins
- Drill holes to proper diameter and length.
- Blow concrete dust from hole with oil-free compressed air from back forward.
- Clean holes with a nylon brush.
- Blow concrete dust from hole with oil-free compressed air from back forward.
- After uniform color is achieved, static mixer should be placed in back of hole. Start extruding epoxy while pulling static mixer out, filling hole 1/2 full. rotate the bolt slightly as it is inserted to the back of the hole.
To set ports & capseal cracks
- Dab a small amount of epoxy to the back of a port and carefully center port over the crack. A centering nail may be helpful. Do not apply so much epoxy to back of port that it could close off the hole.
- After setting port, carefully butter the shoulder of the port and extend epoxy to 1/2in /1.28cm on either side of the crack. Continue placement of epoxy by buttering crack between ports.
- To avoid leaks under pressure, the epoxy should be applied to approx. 1/4in / .64cm thick.
- Do not place epoxy once it starts curing or getting hot or sticky, as this will compromise cap seal and cause leaking. Once epoxy is placed, it should not be disturbed during the curing process.
- Cure time depends on air temperature and mass of epoxy. Normally a minimum of 2hrs is necessary for Ipanol.
- Anchoring Gel to fully cure at 71°F - 75°F.
- Cap seal must be fully cured prior to injection.
To bond irregular surfaces
- Apply the mixed Ipanol Anchoring Gel to the prepared substrates.
- Work into the substrate for positive adhesion.
- Secure or clamp the bonded surfaces firmly into place until the epoxy has cured.
- Glue line should not exceed 1/8 in /.32 cm.
- Limitations
- Minimum material, surface and ambient temperature must be 45°F and rising.
- Minimum age of concrete must be 3 to 7 days, depending on curing and drying conditions.
- Do not thin, solvents will prevent proper cure.
- Do not allow mixed epoxy to reside in static mixing head or mixer for more than 5 minutes or gelation and blockage may result.
- Ipanol Anchoring Gel is a vapor barrier after cure.
- Clean Up
Uncured material can be removed with a citrus cleaner or other approved solvent. Collect with absorbent material. Flush area with water. Dispose of in accordance with local, state, and federal disposal regulations. Cured material can only be removed mechanically.
