Description
Description:
Lokfix is produced in two versions. The two versions of Lokfix are all pre-measured, two part, filled polyester resin grouts.
After hardening, the grout produces anchorages of consistent reproducible values. The versions are: Lokfix S – used where hole diameter is less than 25 mm greater than the bar diameter. Lokfix P – used in overhead or horizontal holes where bar/hole relationship conforms to Lokfix S. The thixotropic nature of Lokfix P reduces flow of grout out of the hole.
Uses:
Lokfix mix and place grouts are used for high strength corrosion resistant anchoring of bolts and bars from 12-51 mm
diameter into concrete, rock, masonry or brickwork where high speed of installation and early application of load is required. Permanent installation of reinforcement starter bars, foundation bolts, base plates, balustrading, barriers and safety fences, railway tracks, tie-back anchors, reinforcement dowelling abutments, ground anchors for towers, cranes, dock sills etc.
Standard compliance:
Product is tested in accordance with BS6319 and BS5080
Advantages:
- Rapid strength gain.
- Vibration resistant.
- Corrosion resistant.
- Non-expansive.
- Can be placed underwater.

Design criteria
The version of Lokfix grout chosen will depend on anchor
conditions (see description).
The high strength of the cured resin permits strong anchors
to be created. Ultimate strength is varied by:
Strength of host material.
Length of resin bond to bar.
Hole preparation and formation.
Type and dimension of bar.
The following formula may be used to determine the
minimum hole depths.
Minimum hole depth = 0.6 Y x 0.25 d1 2
(mm) / Sd2
Y = characteristic yield stress of steel (425 N/mm2).
S = permitted shear stress in concrete in N/mm2
.d1 = bar diameter in mm.
d2 = hole diameter in mm
Specification clauses:

Precautions:
Health and safety
Lokfix and Fosroc Solvent 105 are flammable. Confined areas must be well ventilated and no naked flamed allowed. Do not smoke during use. Contact with the skin should be avoided as certain sensitive skins may be affected by contact with the polyester resin. In such cases if contact with the resin occurs, the skin should be washed immediately with soap and water – not solvent. Gloves and barrier creams should be used when handling these products. Eye contamination must be immediately washed with plenty of water and medical treatment sought.
Additional information

on request.
Application instructions
Hole preparation and formation
Optimum performance of Lokfix grouts requires rough sided, dust free holes. Use of rotary percussive drills with air or water flushing is recommended. Diamond drilled holes should be under-reamed. Cast holes should preferably be inverse dovetail configuration. If parallel-sided holes are cast they should be rough to provide adequate keying.
