Our materials are designed for strength, durability, and a unique design touch, adapting perfectly to the needs of project implementers.
A two-component adhesive formulation based on vinylester resin, suitable for rapid fixing to all building materials, especially concrete and brick.
REPIKIT VE 40 SEISMIC is ETA 23/0081 certified: Option 1 certification for use on cracked and non-cracked concrete and performance class C2 for seismic actions with threaded bar, on non-cracked concrete with improved adhesion bars.
REPIKIT VE 40 SEISMIC is certified for reaction to fire and also complies with LEED® requirements, IEQ credit 4.1, is suitable for contact with potable water and has an A+ classification for volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions in inhabited areas.
REPIKIT VE40 enables you to quickly make reliable fixings with no risk of wrong dosage because the two components, resin and catalyst, are pre-weighed.
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 catalyst 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.
The cartridge has a gradual scale which enables you to measure the injected amount.
REPIKIT VE 40 SEISMIC has high mechanical and chemical resistance, is easy to use, and cures quickly,
typical of polyester resins.
• It ensures strong fasteners, even in the presence of inorganic chemicals (acids and alkalis) and solvents;
• It is also suitable for low-temperature applications and enables fastening even in damp (not wet) holes;
• The product’s reactivity increases with temperature.
| Property | Design Resistance (kN) |
|---|---|

| Shear resistance (threaded bar, non-cracked concrete) | M8–M30: 7.3 to 179.5 |
| Tension resistance (threaded bar, cracked concrete) | M10–M24: 7.9 to 39.6 |
| Shear resistance (threaded bar, cracked concrete) | M10–M24: 11.6 to 95.0 |
| Tension resistance (threaded bar, seismic C1) | M12–M20: 2.5 to 8.9 |
| Shear resistance (threaded bar, seismic C1) | M12–M20: 2.6 to 9.1 |
| Tension resistance (threaded bar, seismic C2) | M12–M20: 2.5 to 8.9 |
| Shear resistance (threaded bar, seismic C2) | M12–M20: 2.6 to 9.1 |
| Tension resistance (reinforcing bars, non-cracked concrete) | Ø8–Ø32: 9.5 to 92.2 |
| Shear resistance (reinforcing bars, non-cracked concrete) | Ø8–Ø32: 9.2 to 147.4 |
Preparation of the support
Make a regular sixe hole and clean it with a pipe cleaner and compressed air to eliminate fragments and dust; do not use water for cleaning. If fixing is made on bricks or stone masonry. Insert the screened bush with restraint ring.
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 VE 40 SEISMIC, 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 REPIKIT VE 40 SEISMIC 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.
Note
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 VE40 cartridges to the sun or heat sources before use to avoid reducing workability times.
Best results are achieved when anchorage is done on homogenous materials with high mechanical resistance.
Do not use in wet holes.
Dry or wet concrete
Flooded holes on concrete (bars M8 to M16 and Ø8 to Ø16)
Dry masonry, installation in dry or wet substrate
Cartridge temperature: between +5 and +20 °C
Installation temperature: between -10 and +30 °C
Work temperature:
I. between -40 and +40 °C (maximum short term temperature +40 °C; long term +24 °C);
II. between -40 and +80 °C (maximum short term temperature +80 °C; long term +50 °C).
The table shows working and fixing times (clamping or load application – full curing).
| Temperature | Working time | Full curing (dry base) | Full curing (wet base) |
|---|---|---|---|
| +5 to +9 °C | 10 min | 145 min | 290 min |
| +10 to +19 °C | 6 min | 85 min | 170 min |
| +20 to +29 °C | 4 min | 50 min | 100 min |
| +30 °C | 4 min | 40 min | 80 min |
* Usage not covered by certification.
Cartridge temperature must be between +5 and +20 °C.
Consumption
| Application type | Consumption (per hole) |
|---|---|
| Standard anchoring (M8–M30) | Depends on diameter and embedment depth, approx. 10–40 ml |
| Post-installed rebar (Ø8–Ø32) | Depends on bar diameter and hole size, approx. 15–60 ml |
The table shows consumption rates for fixing on concrete and should be considered as indicative. For brick
or stone masonry, consumption rates are typically two to three times higher.
Packaging and storage
The product is available in boxes containing 12 cartridges of 410 mℓ each, along with corresponding static
mixers.
The product will remain unchanged for 18 months if stored in its original, unopened packaging in a dry
environment at a temperature between 5 and 25°C.
Avoid exposing to heat sources or open flames.
