Product Description
ET-3G is a two-component, high-solids, epoxy-based system ideal for general anchoring of threaded rod and rebar into concrete (cracked and uncracked) and masonry (cracked and uncracked).
- Suitable for use under static and seismic loading conditions in cracked and uncracked concrete and masonry
- Ideal for doweling and threaded rod applications
- Available in gal. bulk quantities for high volume applications for use with metered dispensing equipment
- Two-year shelf life for unopened cartridges stored between 45°F (7°C) and 90°F (32°C)
- Threaded rod anchoring and rebar doweling into concrete and CMU
- Suitable for horizontal, vertical and overhead applications
- Multiple DOT listings
- Surfaces to receive epoxy must be clean.
- Base material temperature must be 50°F (10°C) or above at the time of installation. For best results, material should be 70°F (21°C) to 80°F (27°C) at time of application.
- To warm cold material, store cartridges in a warm, uniformly heated area or storage container. Do not immerse cartridges in water or use microwave to facilitate warming.
- Mixed material in nozzle can harden in 30 minutes at temperatures of 70°F (21°C) and above.
- Use only Simpson Strong-Tie mixing nozzles in accordance with Simpson Strong-Tie instructions. Modification or improper use of mixing nozzle may impair ET-3G adhesive performance.
- For full instructions, see Adhesive Anchoring Installation Instructions.
