SET-3G® High-Strength Epoxy Adhesive

Simpson Strong-Tie - SET-3G® High-Strength Epoxy Adhesive SET-3G® is an epoxy-based anchoring adhesive with high design strength and proven performance. SET-3G is a 1:1 ratio, two-component, anchoring adhesive for concrete (cracked and uncracked) and masonry (cracked and uncracked). SET-3G installs and performs in a variety of environmental conditions and temperature extremes. Key Features: Exceptional performance — superior bond strengths permit ductile solutions in high seismic areas. Design flexibility — improved sustained load performance at elevated temperature. Jobsite versatility — can be specified for all base material conditions when in-service temperatures range from -40°F (-40°C) to 176°F (80°C). Recognized per ICC ES AC308 for post-installed rebar development and splice length design provisions. Approved for installation with multiple vacuum-drill bit systems without further hole cleaning. See Code Report (ESR-4057) and Engineering Letter for approved systems. Wire brush hole-cleaning system for conventional blow-brush-blow cleaning method for anchoring. With higher bond strengths, ductile solutions can often be achieved with SET-3G in high seismic areas. Low-odor formulation. Manufactured in the USA using global materials. During the installation of SET-3G, when the correct installation processes are followed, there is no performance difference between water-saturated concrete, water-filled holes, or submerged concrete. For use with potable water. Mix Ratio/Type 1:1 epoxy Mixed Color Gray Base Materials Concrete and masonry — cracked and uncracked Base Material Conditions Dry, water-saturated, water-filled and submerged Anchor Type Threaded rod or rebar Substrate Installation Temperature 40°F (4°C) to 100°F (38°C) In-Service Temperature Range -40°F (-40°C) to 176°F (80°C) Storage Temperature 45°F (7°C) and 90°F (32°C) Shelf Life 24 months Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) 2 g/L Applications: Threaded rod anchor and rebar dowel installations in cracked and uncracked concrete under a wide variety of environmental installation and use conditions Installation in downward, horizontal and upwardly inclined (including overhead) orientations Qualified for use in structures assigned to Seismic Design Categories A through F Installation: Surfaces to receive epoxy must be clean per approved hole cleaning method. Base-material temperatures must be 40°F (4°C) or above at the time of installation. For best results, adhesive should be conditioned to a temperature between 70°F (21°C) and 80°F (37°C) at the time of installation. To warm cold adhesive, 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 can harden in the dispensing nozzle within 30 minutes at 70°F (21°C). Use only Simpson Strong-Tie mixing nozzles in accordance with Simpson Strong-Tie instructions. Modification or improper use of mixing nozzle may impair SET-3G adhesive performance. Installation Guide PDF SDS
