Gelbond NS Fast

Multi-Purpose, Non-Sag Anchoring and Bonding System with Shortened Bolt-Up Time


Purpose:
Gelbond NS Fast is a two component, solvent-free, moisture insensitive, high strength, fast setting structural epoxy adhesive. Gelbond NS Fast combines a long working time of 20 minutes, while also providing an anchor that can be loaded in as little as 2 hours (at 75ºF). 

Uses:
Structural bonding , grouting, security caulk, as a mortar binder, seal ports and cracks and repair cracks.

Suggested Applications:

Stuctural bonding of concrete, masonry, metals and wood to glue line up to 1/8"
Grouting dowels, anchors, rebar, bolts and metal anchors
Security caulk for detainment facilities
Epoxy mortar binder for concrete repair
Sealing ports and cracks for epoxy injection
Packaging
22 oz. cartridge or 1, 2, 10 and 110 gal. units

¹Working Time: Elapsed time at which adhesive in the nozzle begins to increase in viscosity from a flowable material to a non-movable semi-solid.
²Bolt-Up Time: Length of time required to apply the allowable load to the anchor (25% of ultimate load)
Note: Gel, working and bolt-up times lengthen as temperatures decrease and shorten as temperatures increase.
