K2 Resigrout

Hole preparation and formation

For best performance of K2 Resigrout rough sided, dust free holes are required. Uses of rotary percussive drills with air or water flushing is recommended. Diamond drilled holes should be under-reamed unless necessary safety factors are incorporated. Cast holes should preferably be inverse dovetail configuration. If parallel side holes are cast they should be rough to provide adequate keying.

Bar preparation

All bars should preferably be free from grease and flaky rust.

Mixing

The complete pack of resin and catalyzed filler should be mixed at once in one operation mechanically. When a smooth, even consistency is achieved the grout is ready for use and should be placed well within the gel time of the grout. The premeasured packs should be used in full and do not attempt to mix partial pack components.

Installation

The calculated volume of grout should be poured steadily into the prepared holes. The anchor bar is then pressed into the hole to the required depth. Slight agitation of the bar will assist in achieving a complete bond. The bar should then be left undisturbed in the required position until the resin is set.

Cleaning

Mixing drums, pumps, etc. should be cleaned within the pot life of the grout.

Precaution

At operating temperatures above 40C, the creep of K2 Resigrout polyester resin grout resin under load may become significant. Resin anchors should not be used where structural load bearing performance has to be maintained in anchors subjected to fire conditions.
