CLAN EP4 EPOXY RESIN 400ml
Clan EP4 is a highly versatile general purpose epoxy resin, suitable for fixing wall ties, starter bars, studs, bolts and large screws in a wide range of substrates including brickwork, concrete masonry and stone.

Clan EP4 is a one shot two part chemical anchoring system based on solvent free epoxy resin. Clan EP4 is thixotropic and gives excellent adhesion to steel and concrete and due to its low shrinkage is ideal for use where a higher performance fixing is required.

Tension figures quoted are tested in accordance with BS 5080 part 1 in 63N/mm cubed concrete. In all cases for 16mm and 20mm anchors failure of the concrete blocks was observed before the anchor was dislodged.

The ultimate pull out strength is varied by:
1 The strength of both the substrate and bar.
2 The length of the resin bond to bar.
3 Hole preparation.
4 Anchor seperation.

Safety factors of between 2:1 and 4:1 should be considered depending on the strength and nature of the substrate. Due to the inconsistent nature of hollow blocks and bricks tension figures may vary. Site testing should be carried where necessary to determine the particular suitability. In order to achieve maximum performance the distance between the centres of the anchors should be a minimum of 2.5 x the embedment depth and 1.25 x the embedment depth for minimum edge distances.

STORAGE
Store in a dry area. Do not expaoe to sunlight. Store cartridges nozzle upwards.

HEALTH AND SAFETY
Clan EP4 is classed as an irritant and may cause sensitisation by repeated skin contact. Wear suitable protective clothing such as gloves and overalls. On contact with skin wsh off immediately with plenty of soap and water.
