Lockfix

Description

Uses:

Lokfix is used for high strength corrosion resistant anchoring of bolts and bars from 12 – 51mm diameter into concrete, rock, masonry or brickwork where high speed of installation and early application of load is required. Permanent installation of reinforcement starter bars, foundation bolts, base plates, balustrading, barriers and safety fences, railway tracks, tie-back anchors, reinforcement dowelling abutments, ground anchors for towers, cranes, dock sills.

Advantages:

Rapid strength gain

Vibration resistant

Corrosion resistant

Non-expansive

Can be placed under water

Standards:

Materials tested in accordance with

BS 4551

BS5080

BS2782

Description:

Lokfix P is used in overhead or horizontal holes where bar/hole relationship conforms to Lokfix polyester resin grout S. The thixotropic nature of Lokfix polyester resin grout P reduces flow of grout out of the hole.

Compressive strength:

After the minimum time required before loading the grout typically attains a compressive strength in excess of 20N/mm 2 and an ultimate compressive strength of 70N/mm 2 in 7 days ( 50mm x 50mm x 50mm) when tested as per BS 6319 Part 2: 1983.

Chemical resistance:

The cured resin is resistant to fresh and salt water, petrol, oils, grease and most acids, alkalis and solvents.

Application instructions:

Selection of grout version: The version of Lokfix chosen will depend on anchor conditions

Parameters of anchor design:

The high strength of the cured resin permits strong anchors to be created. Ultimate strength is determined by:

Strength of host material

Length of resin bond to bar

Hole preparation and formation

Type and dimension of bar

Precautions:

At operating temperatures above 40 0 C, the creep of Lokfix 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.

Health and safety instructions:

Confined areas must be well ventilated and no naked flames allowed. Contact with the skin should be avoided as certain sensitive skins may be affected by contact with the polyester resin. In such cases if contact with the resin occurs, the skin should be washed immediately with soap and water – not solvent. Gloves and barrier creams should be used when handling these products. Eye contamination must be immediately washed with plenty of water and medical treatment sought.
