Simpson Epoxy-Tie Technical Data

• 1. Refer to temperature sensitivity chart for allowable bond strength reduction for temperature. See Adhesive Anchors Application Guidelines.
• 2. Percent allowable load may be linearly interpolated for intermediate base material temperatures.
• 3. °C = (°F-32) / 1.8

• 1. Hole depth was over-drilled to account for dust in hole to achieve required embedment depth.

Optional testing with SET adhesive was done in compliance with ASTM E488 to determine the effect of concrete dust left in the hole on the performance of this adhesive. The load adjustment factors in the table were developed from the results of those tests.

Suggested Specifications

Anchoring Adhesive shall be a two component 100% solids epoxy based system supplied in manufacturer's standard cartridge and dispensed through a static-mixing nozzle supplied by the manufacturer. Epoxy shall meet the minimum requirements of ASTM C-881 specification for Type I, II, IV, and V, Grade 3, Class B and C and must develop a minimum 12,650 psi compressive yield strength after 7 day cure. Epoxy must have a heat deflection temperature of a minimum 136°F (58°C). Adhesive shall be Epoxy-Tie SET from Simpson Strong-Tie, Pleasanton, CA. Anchors shall be installed per Simpson Strong-Tie's instructions for Epoxy-Tie SET.

Test Criteria

Anchors installed with Epoxy-Tie (SET) adhesive have been tested in accordance with ICC-ES's Acceptance Criteria for Adhesive Anchors in Concrete and Masonry Elements (AC58). ICC-ES report ESR-1772 recognizes Epoxy-Tie (SET) adhesive for the following:

• Seismic and Wind Loading.
• Long Term Creep at Elevated Temperature.
• Static Loading at Elevated Temperature.
• Damp and Water-Filled Holes.
• Freeze-Thaw Conditions.
• Critical and Minimum Edge Distance and Spacing.

In addition, anchors installed with Epoxy-Tie (SET) adhesive have been tested in accordance with ICC-ES's Acceptance Criteria for Unreinforced Masonry Anchors (AC60).
