Product Information
Full details
The TIMco PESF Polyester Styrene Free Anchor Resin is designed for professionals and DIYers seeking a high-performance, low-odor solution for masonry fixings. Its key benefit lies in its European Technically Approved (ETA) certification and styrene-free formula, ensuring reliable, safe, and fume-free installations, even in confined spaces. A potential caveat is its suitability primarily for non-safety critical applications.

FAQs
What does 'Styrene Free' mean for users?
Styrene-free means the product has a significantly lower odor compared to traditional resins. This makes it safer and more comfortable to use in enclosed spaces or areas with limited ventilation, as it produces fewer harmful fumes.
Can this resin be used for safety-critical fixings?
No, the TIMco PESF Polyester Styrene Free Anchor Resin is specifically certified for non-safety critical fixings. Always consult the product's technical data and relevant building regulations for safety-critical applications.
How long does the resin take to cure?
Cure times vary based on temperature and humidity. Typically, it will be touch-dry within a short period, but full load-bearing capacity is usually achieved after several hours. Refer to the product's technical data sheet for specific cure times at different temperatures.
What types of masonry is this resin suitable for?
This resin is suitable for a wide range of solid and hollow masonry applications, providing a secure fixing in materials like concrete, brick, and blockwork.
Do I need any special tools to apply this resin?
You will need a standard 300ml sealant gun to apply the resin. The cartridge comes with a mixing nozzle, so no additional mixing equipment is required.
Can I save unused resin in the cartridge?
Once the resin has been mixed through the nozzle, it cannot be saved. You would need to discard the used nozzle and, if re-using later, attach a new nozzle and extrude a small amount to ensure proper mixing.
What is the shelf life of the product?
Unopened cartridges typically have a shelf life of 12-18 months when stored correctly in a cool, dry environment. Please check the packaging for the specific expiry date.
Troubleshooting
Resin not mixing correctly or extruding unevenly.
Ensure the mixing nozzle is securely attached and the cartridge is properly seated in the sealant gun. Try extruding a larger amount initially to ensure the two components are blending properly within the nozzle.
Resin appears to be curing too quickly or too slowly.
Curing times are influenced by ambient temperature and the substrate temperature. Ensure you are working within the recommended temperature range specified by the manufacturer. Avoid applying in extreme heat or cold.
Cartridge is difficult to extrude.
Check that the cartridge is not blocked and that the sealant gun is functioning correctly. Ensure the nozzle is not clogged with cured resin. Some resistance is normal, but excessive force may indicate an issue.
Poor adhesion or fixing strength.
Verify that the masonry is clean, dry, and free from dust or contaminants. Ensure the hole was drilled to the correct diameter and depth, and that sufficient resin was used to fill the void and surround the anchor.
