Questions and Answers for Simpson Strong-Tie SET-XP 8.5 oz. High-Strength Epoxy Adhesive Cartridge with 1 Nozzle and Extension

A:  Hi Will, this is McKenzie from Simpson Strong-Tie. Our technical data for the SET-XP is specifically for threaded rod and rebar anchored into concrete. For any other applications we would not have any technical data to support that installation.

A:  Hi Customer, this is Colin from Simpson Strong-Tie. The maximum tightening torque will depend on the anchor diameter. This information can be found on our website at www.strongtie.com In the search box type in "C-A-2021". That will direct you to our Anchor Systems catalog. This information can be found at the bottom of page 31. If you need more information or have additional questions, please contact the Simpson Strong-Tie Customer Service team at 800-999-5099. Thank you-Colin.

A:  ]​Hi Shawn, thank you for your message. We want to make sure we address your question regarding anchoring to asphalt with SET-XP® High-Strength Epoxy Adhesive. SET-XP, as well as our other adhesives and mechanical anchors, has not been tested for attachment into asphalt base materials. If you need more information or have additional questions, please contact the Simpson Strong-Tie Customer Service team at 800-999-5099. We look forward to hearing from you. -Stacy

A:  I don't think so. This product was developed to be used in concrete or masonry applications to hold threaded anchors or rebar. Outside of that application I don't think this would hold your materials together.

A:  It is not a sealant. Once it hardens Epoxy becomes like steel and would not be able to flex with the Poly sheet. You might want to use something like Lexel (by Sashco) sealant.

A:  We list gel and cure time, but it depends on the base material temperature. Please see the Cure Schedule at the following link for complete details: http://embed.widencdn.net/pdf/plus/ssttoolbox/vnvxsqdo1q/C-A-2021-p031-043.pdf. Thank you!

A:  AlamedaMarc, the epoxy set time can be difficult to define since it is determined by the temperature of the material. The mixing flow tube is how the material is conditioned and combined and the warmer the temperature of the epoxy the faster the chemical action. The temp of the fastened materials and ambient temp will determine the set time, warmer temp-- faster set.... colder temp-- slower set times.

A:  With a 5/8" bolt (3/4" drill bit), an 8.5 oz tube of SET-XP will fill approximately 8 holes at 6" deep. Thank you!

A:  Epoxy dries to a very hard state that will not flex. Therefore I would not use epoxy to fill a crack in concrete. If you just want to seal the crack and there is no need for structural enforcement I would use exterior caulking. Does water stand on this crack for extended time? How much movement does the crack receive? A polyurethane sealant might fit your needs, e.g. 3M 5200 or White Lightning W42200010.

A:  No, I would not recommend it. This product sets up hard and is meant for anchoring rebar or other fasteners. For your needs I'd recommend a flexible concrete filter like truebond or the Quikrete linked below.: Quikrete 1 Qt. Concrete Crack Sealant https://www.homedepot.com/p/Quikrete-1-Qt-Concrete-Crack-Sealant-864000/100318507 SKU# 100318507

A:  It comes with 2 nozzles with one cartridge.

A:  The 8.5 oz. Epoxy-Tie Cartridge does come with 1 nozzle.

A:  Once cured, the material that sits on the surface of the concrete can be painted. The surface needs to be lightly sanded or a high quality primer should be used. It’s actually best if you do both. Thank you!
