Fosroc Lokfix P - Anchoring Grout for Overhead Applications 1Kg

Uses

Lokfix P, pumpable grade, is used for high strength corrosion resistant anchoring of bolts and bars from 10 - 51mm diameter into concrete, rock, masonry or brickwork where high speed of installation and early application of load is required in overhead and horizontal applications.

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.

Lokfix P is used where the difference between the hole diameter and bar diameter is < 25mm. It is meant for overhead or horizontal applications. Due to its thixotropic nature, there is low flow out of the hole and hence lower wastage of material.
 

Advantages

• Rapid strength gain
• Vibration resistant
• Corrosion resistant
• Non expansive
• Can be placed under water

Method of Application

Hole preparation and formation

• Optimum performance of Lokfix requires rough sided, dust free holes. Uses of rotary percussive drills with air or water fl ushing 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 sides holes are cast they should be rough to provide adequate keying.

Bar preparation

• All bars should preferably be degreased and all flaky rust removed.

Mixing

• A complete pack of resin and catalysed filler should be mixed in one operation. Mixing may be carried out 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 (See datasheet).
• Packs have been designed to produce practical and economic volumes of grout.
• Do not attempt to mix partial pack components.

Installation

• The grout should be injected to the rear of the hole to avoid air entrapment. The thixotropic nature of Lokfix P will prevent significant flow of resin out of the hole.
• 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.
