Simpson Strong Tie SET-XP® High-Strength Anchoring Adhesive for Cracked and Uncracked Concrete

  • Sale


SET-XP® is a 1:1 two-component, high-solids, epoxy-based anchoring adhesive formulated for optimum performance in both cracked and uncracked concrete. SET-XP® adhesive has been rigorously tested in accordance with ICC-ES AC308 and 2009 IBC requirements and has proven to offer increased reliability in the most adverse conditions, including performance in cracked concrete under static and seismic loading. SET-XP® adhesive is teal in color in order to be identified as a high-performance adhesive for adverse conditions. Resin and hardener are dispensed and mixed simultaneously through the mixing nozzle. SET-XP® adhesive exceeds the ASTM C881 specification for Type I and Type IV, Grade 3, Class C epoxy.

USES: When SET-XP® adhesive is used with all threaded rod or rebar, the system can be used in tension and seismic zones where there is a risk of cracks occurring that pass through the anchor location. It is also suitable for uncracked concrete conditions.

CODES: ICC-ES ESR-2508; City of L.A. pending; Florida FL 11506.5 NSF/ANSI Standard 61 (216 in2⁄1000 gal). The load tables list values based upon results from the most recent testing and may not reflect those in current code reports. Where code jurisdictions apply, consult the current reports for applicable load values.

APPLICATION: Surfaces to receive epoxy must be clean. The base-material temperature must be 50º F or above at the time of installation. For best results, material should be 70–80º F at the time of application. Cartridges should not be immersed in water to facilitate warming. To warm cold material, the cartridges should be stored in a warm, uniformly-heated area or storage container for a sufficient time to allow epoxy to warm completely. Mixed material in nozzle can harden in 5–7 minutes at a temperature of 40º F or above. DESIGN EXAMPLE: See pages 231, 235–237

INSTALLATION: See pages 70–71 SHELF LIFE: 24 months from date of manufacture in unopened sideby- side cartridge. STORAGE CONDITIONS: For best results, store between 45–90° F. To store partially used cartridges, leave hardened nozzle in place. To re-use, attach new nozzle.

COLOR: Resin – white, hardener – black-green. When properly mixed, SET-XP adhesive will be a uniform teal color.
