Simpson SET-3G High Strength Epoxy Adhesive

Description

SET-3G is the latest innovation in epoxy anchoring adhesives from Simpson Strong-Tie. Formulated to provide superior performance in cracked and uncracked concrete at elevated temperatures, SET-3G installs and performs in a variety of environmental conditions and temperature extremes. The exceptional bond strength of SET-3G results in high design strengths.

USES

• Threaded rod anchoring
• Rebar doweling

APPLICATION

• Mass Timber / Cross-Laminated Timber
• Seismic (New Construction)
• Water / Wastewater Facilities
• Concrete: Cracked
• Seismic Retrofit

SUGGESTED SPECIFICATION

• Exceptional performance — superior bond-strength values at even long-term elevated temperature of 110°F (43°C) using optimized drill bit diameters
• Tested in accordance with ICC-ES AC308 and ACI 355.4 for use in cracked and uncracked normal-weight and lightweight concrete
• Code listed under IBC/IRC for cracked and uncracked concrete per ICC-ES ESR-4057
• Code listed equivalent to cast-in-place reinforcing bars governed by ACI 318 and IBC Chapter 19
• Design flexibility — can be specified for dry or water-saturated conditions when in-service temperatures range from -40°F (-40°C) to 176°F (80°C)
• Jobsite versatility — can be installed in dry, water-saturated or water-filled holes in base materials with temperatures between 40°F (4°C) and 100°F (38°C)
• Maximized production and safety — qualified for installation using the Speed Clean^™ DXS dust extraction drilling system as an alternative to the conventional blow-brush-blow hole-cleaning method

• Available in two cartridge configurations for maximum versatility — 8.5 oz. coaxial or 22 oz. side-by-side cartridges dispensed using manual, battery or pneumatic dispensing tools
• With higher bond strengths, ductile solutions can often be achieved with SET-3G in high seismic areas
• 1:1 ratio, two-component, high-strength, epoxy-based anchoring adhesive formula
• Two-year shelf life for unopened cartridges stored between 45°F (7°C) and 90°F (32°C)
• Low-odor formulation
• When properly mixed, SET-3G will be a uniform gray color
• Volatile organic compound (VOC) — 1.9 g/L
• Manufactured in the USA using global materials
• SET-3G code listed for installation with the Speed Clean^™ DXS drill bits without any further cleaning (ICC-ES ESR-4057)

SHELF LIFE

24 months from date of manufacture in unopened container.

STORAGE CONDITIONS

For best results, store between 45ºF–90ºF. To store partially used cartridges, leave hardened nozzle in place. To re-use, attach new nozzle.
