Key Features Blue-to-gray color change during cure Fast-set formulation Cures below 32˚F Suitable for wet or dry conditions Coaxial cartridge design Applications Threaded rod anchoring and rebar doweling into concrete, grout filled CMU and solid masonry Bonding to concrete, CMU, brick and stone Repair of concrete, CMU, brick and stone Includes two nozzles with each cartridge Color - Dispenses blue & cures gray Usage Temperature - 14°F (-10°C) – 104°F (40°C) Mixing Ratio - 10:1 Storage Conditions - 41°F (5°C) – 77°F (25°C) Shelf Life - 18 months VOC - 76 g/L Installation: Surfaces to receive adhesive must be clean per approved hole cleaning method when anchoring. Surfaces to receive adhesive must be clean and free of dust, oil and debris. Base-material temperatures must be 14°F (-10°C) or above at the time of installation. For best results, adhesive should be conditioned to a temperature of 68°F (20°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 5 minutes at 70°F (21°C). Use only Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Bond mixing nozzles in accordance with Simpson Strong-Tie instructions. Modification or improper use of mixing nozzle may impair Strong-Bond adhesive performance.
