Starter Bar Polyester Grout TP

Twin cartridge gun applied fast setting polyester injection grout for starter bars, bolts and anchors.

Uses

High strength fast setting anchoring of a variety of sizes and types of bolts and bars into concrete, rock, masonry and brickwork where high speed of installation and early application of load is required. Permanent installation of reinforcement starter bars, foundation bolts, base plates, balustrades, barriers and safety fencing, railway tracks, tie-back anchors, reinforcement dowelling abutments, ground anchors etc.

Advantages

• Rapid strength gain.

• Provides extremely high pull out loads.

• Non-sag for anchoring in vertical and overhead applications.

• Vibration resistant - energy absorbing of dynamic and repetitive load forces.

• Can be used to install a variety of anchor bolts and starter bars eg: black, zinc plated, galvanised and stainless steel.

• Convenient - built-in static mixer nozzle provides a uniform, consistent mix with minimal wastage.

• Moisture tolerant - application can occur while the substrate is damp.

Description

Starter Bar Polyester Grout TP is part of Svenic Australia's range of structural adhesives and grouts for use in the construction industry. It combines ease of mixing and application with high strength performance and features a non-sag, paste like consistency before hardening.

Design Criteria

Starter Bar Polyester Grout TP can be used where the hole diameters are less than 25 mm greater than the bar or bolt diameter. For example, the hole diameter can be a maximum of 34 mm for a bolt diameter of 10 mm. Starter Bar Polyester Grout TP can be used in overhead and horizontal holes where the thixotropic nature of the Starter Bar Polyester Grout TP minimises the flow of material out of the hole.

Working Loads - Concrete

Properties

Data quoted typical for this product but does not constitute a specification.
Gel time:

Compressive Strengths

After the minimum time before load, the grout typically attains a compressive strength in excess of 20 MPa. Starter Bar Polyester Grout TP typically achieves an ultimate compressive strength of 90 MPa.
Shear Strength
Shear strength: 30 MPa

Chemical Resistance

The cured resin is resistant to petrol, oil, grease and most acids, alkalis and solvents.
Application Instructions

Hole Preparation and Formation:
Drill the hole to the correct diameter and depth for the particular size stud bolt being installed. Optimum performance of Starter Bar Polyester Grout TP requires a rough sided, dust free hole. Use of a rotary percussive drill with air or water flushing is recommended. Cast holes should preferably be of inverse dovetail configuration. If parallel sided holes are cast they should be rough to provide adequate keying. Brush out the hole using a Svenic round pipe cleaner with nylon bristles. Blow out all the dust from the hole. Compressed air should be clean and free from dirt, oil etc.

Bar Preparation:
All bars should be degreased and all flaky rust removed.

Installation:
Before the new cartridge is introduced into the hole, dispense the first part (at least 20 ml) of the cartridge into a cup etc, until the resin and hardener is of a homogenous and consistent colour. Insert the nozzle to the bottom of the hole and fill the hole to at least half the drill depth. Before the resin gels, insert the bolt into the hole and rotate to fully coat the threads of the bolt. Continue to fill until resin flows around the top of the hole when the stud bolt is fully pushed home. After the resin has fully cured, attach the fixture and tighten the nut.

Cleaning:
Guns and excess resins should be cleaned within the pot life of the Starter Bar Polyester Grout TP. Xylene is available for this purpose.

CAUTION: Some solvents contain potentially harmful chemicals like Toluene. They should only be used in well ventilated areas. Avoid direct skin contact. For further information, refer to the specific instruction sheet on the solvent used.

Packaging

Starter Bar Polyester Grout TP is supplied in the correct mixing proportion as follows:

Source Document: Parbury Technologies. Lokset Rapid Issued: 8/1998

Application Equipment

Other Accessories Brushes, Caps, Sleeves for cavity walls, and additional Static Mixers also available.

Storage

This product should be stored away from naked flame and high temperatures.
Shelf life of 12 months at 20°C can be expected. This is reduced if exposed to higher temperatures.
Keep cartridges closed tightly when not in use.
Do not interchange "D" plugs or in other way contaminate "A" Components with "B" or vice versa. Do not store in conditions of excessive heat or cold.

Precautions

Avoid contact with skin and eyes and avoid breathing vapours. Use only in well ventilated areas away from heat, sparks or naked flames. Wear protective gloves and eye protection when mixing or using.
If poisoning occurs, contact a Doctor or Poisons Information Centre immediately - Phone 13 11 26. If in eyes, hold eyes open, flood with water for at least 15 minutes and see a doctor. If skin contact occurs, remove contaminated clothing and wash skin thoroughly.

A product Material Safety Data Sheet is available to users upon request. Read Material Safety Data Sheet, Technical Data Sheets and label carefully before first use. In emergency, contact any Poisons Information Centre.

Fire

Starter Bar Polyester Grout TP Resin is flammable. Confined areas must be well ventilated and no naked flames allowed. DO NOT smoke during use.

Fire Resistance and Creep

At operating temperatures above 40ºC, the creep of the Starter Bar Polyester Grout TP under load may become significant. Resin based anchors should not be used where structural load bearing performance has to be maintained in anchors subjected to fire conditions.

Flash Point

Starter Bar Polyester Grout TP : 31ºC
