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.

Safety factor of 3.0 load stress

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.
