Description

Lokfix E75 is a two-component Epoxy anchoring material,

supplied in 3:1 ratio side-by-side cartridges with a static
mixer nozzle. When applied it sets and cures to firmly se-
cure a variety of steel fixings into concrete and solid ma-
sonry substrates.

Other grades of Lokfix are also available

For concrete (solid, porous and light) and solid masonry.

For optimal use the cartridge temperature should be be-

tween +10 to +25ºC.

Installation temperature range +5 to +40ºC.
