XChem Pro P201 Polyester Chemical Anchor 300ml and 420ml: Performance Data

Key things to remember

The essentials from this document in plain words. Check the full document before you rely on a figure.

• ✓A styrene-free polyester resin for medium loads in non-critical applications, in non-cracked concrete, solid and hollow masonry and natural stone. The document states it complies with AS 5216 and the NCC; natural stone is not included in the ETA.
• ✓Can be used in wet or flooded holes. Colour change technology shows when the resin has cured; use with nozzle MCXND3.
• ✓Installation for M8, M10, M12 and M16: hole diameter 10, 12, 14 and 18mm; maximum tightening torque 8, 10, 15 and 25Nm.
• ✓Gel working time is 5 minutes at 20 to 29°C and 40 minutes at -5 to 0°C; curing in dry concrete takes 30 minutes at 20 to 29°C and 180 minutes at -5 to 0°C, and twice as long in wet concrete. The resin itself must be at least 20°C.
• ✓Example working load: an M12 stud at 110mm embedment in non-cracked C20/25 concrete, single anchor, no edge or spacing effects, up to 24°C average and 40°C short-term: 500kg tension in a dry or wet hammer-drilled hole, 340kg in a flooded hole. Working loads are the design resistance divided by 1.4.
• ✓A 300ml tube fills about 68 standard M8 holes, 42 M10, 25 M12 or 13 M16 holes (based on two thirds of the standard hole depth filled and 5% waste).
