Sika® AnchorFix® Cartridge
Sika® AnchorFix®-1
Sika® AnchorFix®-1 is a methacrylate 2-part polyester
anchoring adhesive, which sets up in just minutes and
will cure at temperatures as low as -10ºC (14ºF).
Sika® AnchorFix®-2CA
Sika® AnchorFix®-2CA an epoxy acrylate exhibits high
load capacities, can be dispensed in all types of
weather conditions and will cure in colder base material
temperatures down to -26 °C.
Sika® AnchorFix®-3CA
The professional contractor will enjoy the advantages of
100% solids epoxy with superior bond strengths and fast
cure times allowing for same day loading of heavy-duty
anchors, in concrete, masonry or wood base materials.
Sika® AnchorFix®-4CA
Excellent long term performance and the same superior
bond strengths provided by Sika® AnchorFix®-3CA. Meets
the commercial construction industry’s demand for regular
set epoxy, with high strength and reliable adhesion to
concrete, masonry or wood base materials.

NOTES: Allowable load values (safety factor 4:1) are recommended for use in force reaction calculations performed by a qualified design professional. Higher values of safety may be
warranted depending upon the actual application and site conditions. Performance values are guidelines for typical, sound base materials. Installation in questionable base material conditions
should be tested to determine actual field performance.Shear loads are based upon typical A193B7 steel hardware. Always refer to the latest product technical data available at www.sika.ca
for application procedures and handling information. To obtain results not listed in the literature refer to the Sika AnchorFix Design Program available on CD or at www.sika.ca.
Per NTSB safety recommendations, the use of adhesive anchors are prohibited in sustained overhead load applications
