Our materials are designed for strength, durability, and a unique design touch, adapting perfectly to the needs of project implementers.
Two component cartridge containing thixotropic bi-component adhesive paste based on epoxy resins for fixing of connectors and bolts to wood and any building material.
REPIKIT EP 340 WOOD ensures a really good adhesion because the hardening has no-shrinkage thanks to
solvent free epoxy resins and amino-hardener.
The two are blended outside the cartridge using a static mixer when the product is extruded: thanks to
outside mixing the cartridge can be partially used in different moments by simply replacing the nozzle of the mixer.
Resin and hardener have two different colours for visual control during mixture; after the first 10 ml of
extruded product an evenly coloured material is achieved. It ensures an even product and constant quality during fixing.
Product reactivity increases with temperature.

Preparation of the support
Make a regular size hole and clean it with a pipe cleaner and compressed air to eliminate fragments and
dust; do not use water for cleaning.
Preparation of the product
Screw the static mixer on the head of the cartridge and extrude its contents using the appropriate coaxial
gun (manual or pneumatic) eliminating the first 10 ml of material until the colour of the paste gets
homogeneous.
Application
Inject REPIKIT EP 340 WOOD, starting from the bottom of the hole until you fill in approx. 2/3 of the volume.
Insert the fixing element (rod, bolt, etc.) rotating it and moving it with the fingers to get rid of air bubbles to improve adherence to resin. The operation is done correctly when a small amount of material comes out from the hole.
Remove the excess of product from the hole.
If, once the work is finished, the cartridge had not been completely used, unscrew and eliminate the static
mixer which cannot be used again and close using the appropriate screw cap.
Notes
To reuse a partially used cartridge you need to remove the tap of hardened material, screw a new mixer and repeat the procedure.
You must respect workability times between fixings to prevent the product from hardening in the static mixer.
Do not expose REPIKIT EP 340 WOOD cartridges to the sun or heat sources before use to avoid reducing workability times.
Best results are achieved when anchorage is done on wood with good mechanical resistance.
Do not use in wet or damp holes.
When mixing the reaction between the two components starts: time available is therefore limited and it
depends on the temperature.
| Temperature | Pot-life | Hardening |
|---|---|---|
| 10°C | 80 min | 18 h |
| 20°C | 30 min | 10 h |
| 30°C | 20 min | 6 h |
| 40°C | 12 min | 4 h |
Full hardening after 7 days.
