BVS ANCHOR-SET ANCHORING CEMENT |
DESCRIPTION: BVS ANCHOR-SET is a pourable, quick-setting, non-shrink, anchoring grout. The expanding characteristics of BVS ANCHOR-SET forms a tight grip on both the fixture and the surrounding concrete. BVS ANCHOR-SET will set in 15 minutes at 70ºF (21ºC).
USES AND APPLICATIONS:
BVS ANCHOR-SET may be used for anchoring a variety of objects into concrete;
ADVANTAGES:
PACKAGING: BVS ANCHOR-SET is supplied in a 50 lb. pail.
YIELD: BVS ANCHOR-SET will yield approximately 0.5 ft3 per 50 lb. pail or 14 inch3 per 1 lb. See table for placement information.
STORAGE CONDITIONS: Store BVS ANCHOR-SET at or above 45ºF (7ºC) in a dry area. Avoid excessive heat and do not freeze. The shelf life is 1 year in the original unopened container.
PRIMING: The use of a primer before the application of BVS ANCHOR-SET is not necessary for any application.
COLOR: Concrete gray when cured.
SURFACE PREPARATION: The application area should be clean and sound. Drill a hole into the concrete that will allow enough room for the fixture plus a minimum of one-inch clearance around the entire fixture. When possible, undercut and roughen the walls of the hole to insure a strong bond. Blow or vacuum all loose particles from the hole and then dampen before placing the fixture and BVS ANCHOR-SET.
POT LIFE: BVS ANCHOR-SET has a working time of approximately 7 to 10 minutes at 70ºF (21ºC).
CURING: The curing time of BVS ANCHOR-SET is 1 hour at 70ºF (21ºC). No special curing is necessary.
MIXING: For horizontal applications, mix the BVS ANCHOR-SET material with water until a pourable consistency is achieved. Do not over water, as this will weaken the material. For vertical applications, reduce the amount of water used in order to obtain a putty-like consistency. Mix 1 part of water to 4 parts BVS ANCHOR-SET.
APPLICATION: BVS ANCHOR-SET must be placed immediately after mixing. Pour a small amount of BVS ANCHOR-SET into the hole and then work the fixture up and down to eliminate any air pockets. Continue to pour the material into the hole until it is filled. The fixture should be supported for 20 minutes. At this time the supports may be removed, as BVS ANCHOR-SET will have reached its initial set. Do not disturb the fixture during the hardening.

PRECAUTIONS:
TABLE FOR ESTIMATING QUANTITY OF MATERIALS NEEDED FOR ANCHORING
For the best performance, all bolts must have a washer. Washers must be large enough to fit the diameter of the opening. The washer must be free to rest against the head of the bolt when inserted at the bottom of the opening. It is better to enlarge the opening than reduce the size of the washer or bolt.
