TG6 - FIRE TEST - TRADA report FR1139, 1987

PREPARATION & METHOD

Cut out all rotted, loose or flaking material and vacuum to remove dust. Abrade or grind as necessary to provide clean, stable surfaces free of all contaminants.
Mix the two liquid components first (2.5/7.5 Litre packs), add the powder slowly (wear a dust mask) and then mix the three TG6 STRUCTURAL GROUT components thoroughly using a mixing paddle in an electric drill.
Ensure that the temperature is above 5 degrees Centigrade, or pre-warm the materials, otherwise curing may be delayed or prevented. Cure time: 24 hours initial at 20C, 7 days full. Working pot life: 45 minutes at 20 degrees C. Minimum de-propping time 48 hours, subject to ambient temperature.
For injection, dispense the TG6 STRUCTURAL GROUT into the 1 litre cartridge by pouring, leaving the foil seal in place.

TIMBERSET - THIXOTROPIC EPOXY ADHESIVE

Active Substance
DGEB A/F Epoxy Resins
Other Components
Cycloaliphatic amine
Bond Strength
6 N/mm2
Aggressivity to other materials
No known aggressivity
Classification
Irritant
