SET-XP is an epoxy-based high-strength anchoring adhesive. SET-XP is a 1:1 ratio, two-component anchoring adhesive for anchoring and doweling into concrete (cracked and uncracked) and masonry (uncracked) applications.

Key Features

  • Design flexibility — permitted for sustained load performance at elevated temperature
  • Jobsite versatility — can be specified for dry and damp conditions when in-service temperatures range from -40°F (-40°C) to 150°F (65°C)
  • Recognized per AC308 to be used for rebar development and splice length design provisions of ACI 318
  • Code listed for installation with the Speed Clean™ DXS system without any further cleaning
  • Easy hole-cleaning — no power-brushing required
  • 1:1 two-component, high-solids, epoxy-based anchoring adhesive formula
  • When properly mixed, SET-XP will be a uniform teal color
  • Suitable for use under static and seismic loading conditions in cracked and uncracked concrete and masonry
  • Suitable for use in dry or water-saturated concrete
  • Use with threaded rod or rebar
  • Substrate installation temperature from 50°F (4°C) to 110°F (38°C)
  • In-service temperature range of –40°F (–40°C) to 150°F (65°C)
  • For best results, store between 45°F (7°C) and 90°F (32°C)
  • Shelf life of 24 months
  • Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) – 3 g/L
  • Manufactured in the USA using global materials

Applications

  • Threaded rod anchoring and rebar doweling into concrete and masonry
  • Recognized per AC308 to be used for rebar development and splice length design provisions of ACI 318
  • Suitable for horizontal, vertical and overhead applications
  • Multiple DOT listings

Installation

  • Surfaces to receive epoxy must be clean.
  • Base material temperature must be 50°F (10°C) or above at the time of installation. For best results, material should be between 70°F (21°C) and 80°F (27°C) at time of application.
  • To warm cold material, 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 in nozzle can harden in 30 minutes at temperatures of 70°F (21°C) and above.
  • Use only appropriate Simpson Strong-Tie mixing nozzle in accordance with Simpson Strong-Tie instructions. Modification or improper use of mixing nozzle may impair SET-XP adhesive performance.
  • For full instructions, see Adhesive Anchoring Installation Instructions.

Test Criteria

  • SET-XP has been tested in accordance with ICC-ES AC308, AC58, ACI 355.4 and applicable ASTM test methods.
