G5

High-Strength Anchoring Epoxy

Description

Ramset™ Epcon G5 is a high performance chemical epoxy adhesive specially formulated for hot or warm weather. Due to its fast curing property, you don’t have to waste your valuable time waiting for longer cure times or waste money disposing of dried up nozzles. With an extended working time (15 minutes) and a full cure in less than 2 hours, your crew can keep working more efficiently, not waiting, saving you time and money.

The epoxy resin and hardener are thoroughly and evenly mixed as they are dispensed from the dual cartridge through a static mixing nozzle, directly into the anchor hole.

It is ideally used in tropical climate and it works well in dry, damp, wet and flooded holes.

Advantages

• High Performance Epoxy: Shallower embedment depth required hence saving on materials
