For Best Performance


Do not add solvent, water, or any other material

to the grout.
Do not alter the resin or hardener proportions.
Contact your local representative for a pre-job

conference to plan the installation.


For guidelines on specific anchor-bolt

applications, contact Technical Service.


Substrate temperature must be greater than

50 F (10 C).
Cold material will exhibit decreased flowability

and reduced strength development.


Minimum placement thickness is 1" (25 mm).

Consult your BASF representative before placing


lifts more than 6" (152 mm) in depth.
Chamfering the concrete edge helps reduce
thermal cracking. Following proper installation
procedures also reduces the potential for cracking.
