Pumafix^® TQP

Technical Caracteristics

Styrene-free, unsaturated polyester resin.

Advantages and Uses

• Chemical bonding of horizontal and vertical anchors.
• Suitable for solid and hollow substrates.
• Styrene-free; low odour.
• Easy extrusion and injection.
• Thixotropic, can be applied either horizontally or vertically.
• Fast curing.
• Can be applied with conventional guns.
• For use on concrete, bricks and concrete masonry units in a wide range of applications: bonding doors, railings, balustrades, Persian blinds, awnings, aerials, signs, cable tray channelling, industrial machinery…

Suitable Substrates

• Substrates must be resistant, stable, sound and clean, free of dust, demolding agents, organic products, etc. It is not necessary for them to be 28 days old.
• If the condition of the substrate is unknown, it is recommended to carry out extraction tests to test the suitability of the substrate.
• Once the perforation of the substrate has been made, clean any residue using compressed air or a cylindrical brush.
• Threaded or round steel rods must be free from any oil or grease.

Application Procedure

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR SOLID BRICKWORK

• Drill a hole in accordance with the diameter and depth shown on the application table. During the drilling process, the perpendicularity of the hole in the substrate should be checked.  
• Clean the hole of dust, fragments, oil, water, grease and other contaminants before injecting the mortar (with the manual blower and standard manual brush). 
• The cleaning of the hole consists of 4 blowing operations, 4 brushing operations followed by a further 4 blowing operations. 
• Before brushing, the brush must be cleaned and the diameter checked to ensure it is the correct size.  
• The threaded rod must be free from any dust, grease, oil and other impurities. 
• Unscrew the top of the cartridge, engage the mixing nozzle to the cartridge and position in the gun. 
• At the start of using a new cartridge, eject some product until a uniform colour of the mortar appears.
• Fill the drilled hole uniformly from the bottom up to avoid air pockets, moving the nozzle slowly outwards. 
• Fill 2/3 of the depth of the drilled hole with mortar.
• Insert the threaded rod slowly and with a slight rotating movement, remove the excess mortar injected from around the threaded rod. 
• Wait the necessary curing time in accordance with the datasheet.
• Do not move or load the anchor until the curing process has finished.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOLLOW/PERFORATED BRICKWORK 

• Drill a hole in accordance with the diameter and depth shown on the application table. During the drilling process, the perpendicularity of the hole in the substrate should be checked.
• Clean the hole of dust, fragments, oil, water, grease and other contaminants before injecting the mortar (with the manual blower and standard manual brush). 
• The cleaning of the hole consists of 4 blowing operations, 2 brushing operations followed by a further 4 blowing operations.
• Before brushing, the brush must be cleaned and the diameter checked to ensure it is the correct size. 
• The threaded rod must be free from any dust, grease, oil and other impurities.  
• Select the correct size of sieve.
• Unscrew the top of the cartridge, engage the mixing nozzle to the cartridge and position in the gun. 
• At the start of using a new cartridge, eject some product until a uniform colour of the mortar appears.
• Remove the top of the plastic sieve.
• Introduce the plastic sieve in the hole.
• Fill the sieve uniformly from the bottom up, moving the mixing nozzle slowly towards the outside: move the mixing nozzle 10 mm  towards the outside each time you pull the trigger. 
• Completely fill the sieve.
• Place the top on the filled plastic sieve. 
• Insert the threaded rod slowly and with a slight rotating movement, remove the excess mortar injected from around the threaded rod. 
• Wait the necessary curing time in accordance with the datasheet. 
• Do not move or load the anchor until the curing process has finished.

Recommendations

• Do not apply under 5ºC nor above 30ºC. Higher temperatures will considerably reduce the life of the mixture.
• Using on site and adjustments to the product are only possible before the hardening of PUMAFIX TQP.
• The anchor point must be positioned within the open time.
• During the hardening of the resin the anchor must not be moved or loaded (wait for the necessary time).
• Store between 5ºC and not above 25ºC 
• Consult the product label. For more information see the safety datasheet. Please respect regulations, hygiene and waste disposal in the workplace.

Notas

The information and instructions in this datasheet are based on our current tests and technical knowledge. They are intended as general guidance and do not constitute a binding commitment by PIDILITEPUMA MEA CHEMICALS LLC. It is the sole responsibility of the user to verify, prior to use, that the product is suitable for the intended application and to ensure that it is applied correctly and in accordance with applicable regulations and good industry practice.

PIDILITEPUMA MEA CHEMICALS LLC cannot control how its products are applied on site throughout the entire project and therefore cannot accept responsibility for their application by contractors or other parties involved in the execution of the work. Support visits to the jobsite by our technical staff do not change that. Our responsibility is limited exclusively to defects that can be directly attributed to the supplied products, whether used individually or as part of a system, caused by manufacturing defects.

It is the responsibility of the project designer, site manager, contractor, or other relevant professionals to ensure that the selected products are appropriate for the specific project, taking into account their properties, the substrate, site conditions, and any existing issues.

In the event of a claim, the original packaging must be provided to ensure proper product traceability.

Any performance values stated for PIDILITEPUMA MEA CHEMICALS LLC products or construction solutions, whether in UNE standards or other applicable standards, are based solely on the specific test conditions defined in those standards (such as substrate type, temperature, and humidity). These values may not apply to situations where products are tested or used under different conditions.
