Description
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.

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.
STORAGE: Normal cement storage and handling practices should be observed.

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.
