ANCHORING CEMENT is a rapid-setting, early strength, pourable anchoring cement. It is formulated with cement based expansive compounds designed to reach final set in 20 minutes, and exceed the strength of concrete in 1 day. Anchoring Cement is non-corrosive, non-rusting and 100% waterproof. This product does not contain any material that can be affected by continued exposure to water. |
Features
100% waterproof – will not deteriorate with exposure to water
Consistent – strict quality control testing and standards
Strength – attains higher strength than surrounding concrete
Non-shrink, non-metallic, non-corrosive
Performance – expands to lock into place
Fast setting, pourable
Resists freeze/thaw cycles
|
Usage
Anchoring of wood or metal sign posts, fence posts, parking meters, dowels and rods
Setting appliances, machinery, processing equipment and conveyors
Bridge railings and other fixtures in concrete and masonry

Application
SURFACE PREPARATION
All surfaces in contact with ANCHORING CEMENT shall be free of dirt, oil, grease, laitance, paints and other contaminants. All unsound concrete should be removed to ensure a good bond. The hole to receive Anchoring Cement should be cored in sound concrete. Hole Depth: recommended hole depth is eight times bolt diameter size. (Hole diameter: multiply bolt diameter by 3 1/4 to get recommended opening size – round up to nearest 1/8" for core size). Blow or vacuum out all loose particles and dust. Dampen the surface of substrate to ensure good bond. Remove any standing water prior to placing cement.
MIXING
Always use a clean container. Do not use sand or aggregate to extend material. Mix 1 quart of cool, clean potable water to every 10 pounds of Anchoring Cement. Mix no more ANCHORING CEMENT than can be used in 5 minutes. Always add the powder to the liquid when mixing. Mix to a lump free consistency. Do not overwater as this causes bleeding and segregation.
FOR VERTICAL APPLICATIONS
Add just enough water for a putty-like consistency. Keep mixing for 1 1/2 minutes. Allow the powder to fully absorb the moisture until it begins to look like putty.
COOL OR WARM WEATHER
Follow ACI procedures for cool weather by adding warm water and ACI procedures for warm weather by adding cool water.
PLACING
When mixed to a fluid consistency, it is necessary to seal any openings where mortar may escape. Fixture should be supported until Anchoring Cement reaches final set. Once the work has begun, it should continue without interruption so the entire area to be grouted is completely filled before the mortar begins to set. Pour the ANCHORING CEMENT into the hole from one side to ensure even flow of material.
FINISHING & CURING
Follow accepted ACI curing practices. Exposed surfaces should be cured with a membrane forming curing compound such as UNITEX HYDRO SEAL or UNITEX HYDRO CURE. |
Limitations
Do not apply when temperature is below 40°F or due to fall below 40°F within 24 hours.
Do not apply over surfaces that are frozen or contain frost. |
Cautions
Contains Portland cement (CAS# 65991-15-1). Do not allow contact with eyes or skin.
Contains concrete aggregates, sand/gravel (CAS# 14808-60-7).
Avoid breathing dust. Respirable silica may cause serious lung problems.
There is limited evidence silica is a carcinogen.
The use of gloves, goggles and, where appropriate, dust masks and other protective clothing is recommended |
