Sure-Set® Plus+ Pure Epoxy
At Aerosmith® Fastening Systems, your health and safety on the construction site, is job one. That’s why we ensure that all the adhesives we sell carry the highly recognized ICC-ES and Iampo Certified Approvals. What this means is that these products have gone through extensive and rigorous testing to not only ensure product quality, but more importantly when used appropriately, perform as intended with your safety and the safety of others at the forefront.
With that in mind, Aerosmith® is pleased to introduce its new line of Sure-Set® Plus+ Pure Epoxy adhesive anchoring.
Product Information:
The PE-10 Plus+/PE-21 Plus+ is an injectable two component epoxy adhesive. The two components are kept separately by means of a labeled dual cylinder cartridge. The two components combine and react when dispensed through a static mixing nozzle supplied by Aerosmith Fastening Systems, which comes attached to each cartridge. Product is available in a 9.5- and 20.5- fluid ounce cartridge. This high-performance adhesive may be used in combination with a Manual, Battery or Pneumatic Dispensing Tool. It was specifically designed for the anchoring of threaded rods and reinforcing bars into Normal and Light weight concrete, brick, block and stone.

Installation Instructions:
Drilling
Precaution: Wear suitable eye and skin protection. Avoid inhalation of dust during drilling and/or removal.
1. Drill a hole into the base material with an electric or battery-operated hammer drill to the size and embedment required by the selected steel hardware element. The tolerances of the carbide drill bit must meet the requirements of ANSI Standard B212.15.
2. Starting from the bottom or back of the anchor hole, blow the hole clean with either compressed air (min. 6 bar / 90 psi) a minimum of two times, until return air stream is free of noticeable dust. If the back of the drilled hole is not reached an extension shall be used or with a blowout bulb or canister.
2b. Determine brush diameter for the drilled hole. Brush the hole with the selected wire brush a minimum of two times (2×). A brush extension (supplied by Aerosmith Fastening) must be used for drill hole depth > 6” (150 mm). The brush should resist insertion into the drilled hole - if not the brush is too small and must be replaced with the proper brush diameter. If the back of the drilled hole is not reached a brush extension shall be used.
2c. Finally blow the hole clean again with compressed air (min. 6 bar / 90 psi) or blow out bulb or cannister a minimum of two times, until return air stream is free of noticeable dust. If the back of the drilled hole is not reached an extension shall be used. When finished the hole should be clean and free of dust, debris, ice, grease, oil or other foreign material.
3. Check adhesive expiration date on cartridge label. Do not use Expired Product. Review Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before use. For the permitted range of the base material and cartridge temperature see ESR-5901 or cartridge label. Attach a supplied mixing nozzle to the cartridge. Do not modify the mixer in any way and make sure the mixing element is inside the nozzle. Load the cartridge into the correct dispensing tool.
Note: Always use a new mixing nozzle with new cartridges of adhesive and also for all work interruptions exceeding the published gel (working) time of the adhesive.
4. Prior to inserting the anchor rod or rebar into the filled drilled hole, the position of the embedment depth has to be marked on the anchor. Verify anchor element is straight and free of surface damage.
5. Adhesive must be properly mixed to achieve published properties. Prior to dispensing adhesive into the drilled hole, separately dispense at least three full strokes of adhesive through the mixing nozzle until the adhesive is a consistent gray color. Review and note the published working and cure times in ESR 5901 or on cartridge label. prior to injection of the mixed adhesive into the cleaned anchor hole.
6. Fill the cleaned hole approximately two-thirds full of mixed adhesive starting from the bottom or back of the anchor hole. Slowly withdraw the mixing nozzle as the hole fills to avoid creating air pockets or voids. If the bottom or back of the anchor hole is not reached with the mixing nozzle only an extension tube supplied by Aerosmith Fastening must be used with the mixing nozzle.
In case of using the extension tube VL16/1,8 (Cat# 16004), cut the tip of the mixer nozzle at position “X”. Piston plugs must be used with and attached to mixing nozzle and extension tube for:
- overhead installations and installations between horizontal and overhead
- all installations with drill hole depth d0 > 10” (250 mm)
- all installations in submerged bore holes with anchor rod 5/8" to 1-1/4" (M16 to M30) diameter and rebar sizes #5 to #11 (Ø14 to Ø36)
Insert piston plug to the back of the drilled hole and inject as described in the method above. During installation the piston plug will be naturally extruded from the drilled hole by the adhesive pressure.
Attention! Do not install anchors overhead or upwardly inclined without installation hardware supplied by Aerosmith Fastening and also receiving proper training and/or certification. Contact Aerosmith Fastening for details prior to use.
7. The anchor should be free of dirt, grease, oil or other foreign material. Push clean threaded rod or reinforcing bar into the anchor hole while turning slightly to ensure positive distribution of the adhesive until the embedment depth is reached. Observe the gel (working) time.
8. Be sure that the anchor is fully seated at the bottom of the hole and that some adhesive has flowed from the hole and all around the top of the anchor. If there is not enough adhesive in the hole, the installation must be repeated. For overhead applications and applications between horizontal and overhead the anchor must be secured from moving/falling during the cure time (e.g. wedges). Minor adjustments to the anchor may be performed during the gel time but the anchor shall not be moved after placement and during cure.
9. Allow the adhesive anchor to cure to the specified full curing time prior to applying any load. Do not disturb, torque or load the anchor until it is fully cured.
10. After full curing the adhesive anchor, a fixture can be installed to the anchor and tightened up to the maximum torque by using a calibrated torque wrench. Take care not to exceed the maximum torque for the selected anchor.
