Simpson Strong-Tie SET-3G™ High-Strength Epoxy Adhesive

SET-3G is an epoxy-based anchoring adhesive with high design strength and proven performance. SET-3G is a 1:1 ratio, two-component, anchoring adhesive for concrete (cracked and uncracked). SET-3G installs and performs in a variety of environmental conditions and temperature extremes.

Applications

• Threaded rod anchor and rebar dowel installations in cracked and uncracked concrete under a wide variety of environmental installation and use conditions
• Installation in downward, horizontal and upwardly inclined (including overhead) orientations
• Qualified for use in structures assigned to Seismic Design Categories A through F

Installation

• Surfaces to receive epoxy must be clean per approved hole cleaning method.
• Base-material temperatures must be 40°F (4°C) or above at the time of installation. For best results, adhesive should be conditioned to a temperature between 70°F (21°C) and 80°F (37°C) at the time of installation.
• To warm cold adhesive, store cartridges in a warm, uniformly heated area or storage container. Do not immerse cartridges in water or use microwave to facilitate warming.
• Mixed material can harden in the dispensing nozzle within 30 minutes at 70°F (21°C).
  Use only Simpson Strong-Tie mixing nozzles in accordance with Simpson Strong-Tie instructions. Modification or improper use of mixing nozzle may impair SET-3G adhesive performance.

Key Features

• Exceptional performance — superior bond strengths permit ductile solutions in high seismic areas.
  
  
• Design flexibility — improved sustained load performance at elevated temperature.
  
  
• Jobsite versatility — can be specified for all base material conditions when in-service temperatures range from -40°F (-40°C) to 176°F (80°C).
  
  
• Recognized per ICC ES AC308 for post-installed rebar development and splice length design provisions.
  
  
• Approved for installation with multiple vacuum-drill bit systems without further hole cleaning. See Code Report (ESR-4057) and Engineering Letter for approved systems.
  
  
• Wire brush hole-cleaning system for conventional blow-brush-blow cleaning method for anchoring.
  
  
• With higher bond strengths, ductile solutions can often be achieved with SET-3G in high seismic areas.
  
  
• Low-odor formulation.
  
  
• Manufactured in the USA using global materials.
  
  
• During the installation of SET-3G, when the correct installation processes are followed, there is no performance difference between water-saturated concrete, water-filled holes, or submerged concrete.
  
  
• For use with potable water.
