Lokfix S 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.
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 S is used where the difference between the hole diameter and bar diameter is < 25mm. It is not meant for overhead or horizontal applications.
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 Lokfi x 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 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.
