KF2
Introduction
The KF2 adhesive system consists of a cartridge and a static mixing nozzle for use in attaching reinforcing bar and threaded rod to concrete, brickwork, and blockwork. It is suitable for close to edge and high vibration applications and can be used with the studs, mesh sleeves and accessories.

Product description
KF2 adhesive is packaged in a 420ml co-axial dispensing cartridge which includes a special drive unit. A manually operated tool is used to dispense the adhesive which is designed for use in the installation of threaded rod in solid concrete and masonry materials. It can also be used with mesh tubes and threaded rod in hollow masonry base materials. KF2 adhesive mortar bonds the anchor rod to the base material so no expansion forces are exerted against the walls of the hole in the base material. This makes the mortar ideal for use in anchoring to a variety of base materials ranging from soft common brick to hard stone. KF2 cartridges contain 420 ml of material. The cartridge is designed for use with the Multi PRO dispensing tool CGPRO-4, designed for use with all Powers adhesives. KF2 can also be dispensed using the dedicated CG380KF2 gun. Each cartridge has pre-measured amounts of resin and hardener. The cartridges are supplied with a special mixing nozzle to insure complete and proper mixing of the components. As the components are pumped through the mixing nozzle, they pass through a series of static mixing elements. The elements properly divide and recombine the components to provide precise automatic mixing.

KF2 setting time

The setting times listed for the KF2 adhesive vary according to the base material temperature. The working time is the maximum time during which the mortar can be dispensed before it begins to set and starts when the cartridge is pumped. The curing time is the minimum time required for the KF2 adhesive mortar to reach its published load capacities.

KF2 Selection guide

KF2 cartridges are packaged individually along with two mixing nozzles. The Multi-PRO (CG PRO-4) manual injection tool is designed with a pump style drive mechanism which has a high pump ratio to provide fast dispensing. The base unit is a unique design which allows for the dispensing of different cartridge sizes consisting of different component ratios. The CG PRO-4 will dispense the 385ml (3:1) cartridge, the 585ml cartridge (3:1), 380ml (10:1) cartridge and 300ml (10:1) cartridge. CG PRO-4 is ideal for those who use the entire Powers adhesive range.

Characteristic ultimate load capacities in masonry walls

The strength of masonry varies widely, therefore, job site tests to develop load capacities are recommended. The allowable working loads in these tables should be used as guidelines only. Characteristic ultimate load capacities in 20.5 MPa brick
