Specific Part
1 Technical description of the product

The EPCON C8 XTREM is used for the connection, by anchoring or overlap joint, of reinforcing
bars (rebars) in existing structures made of ordinary non-carbonated concrete C12/15 to C50/60.
Covered are rebar anchoring systems consisting of EPCON C8 XTREM bonding material and an
embedded straight deformed reinforcing bar with properties according to Annex C of EN 1992-1-
1:2004 and EN 10080:2005. The classes B and C of the rebar are recommended. The illustration
and the description of the product are given in Annexes A.
The ETA covers rebar connections with a diameter, ϕ, from 8 to 40 mm.
2 Specification of the intended use

The performances given in Section 3 are only valid if the anchor is used in compliance with the
specifications and conditions given in Annexes B.
The provisions made in this European Technical Assessment are based on an assumed working
life of the anchor of at least 50 and/or 100 years for hammer drilling, compressed air drilling and
diamond core drilling. The indications given on the working life cannot be interpreted as a
guarantee given by the producer but are to be regarded only as a means for choosing the right
products in relation to the expected economically reasonable working life of the works.

until no dust is evacuated.
2. Using the relevant brush and extension fitted on a drilling machine,
starting from the top of the hole, move downward to the bottom of the
hole (duration 5s) then move upward to the top of the hole (duration 5s).
Repeat this operation.

The diameter of the round steel brush shall be checked before use. The minimum brush diameter has to be
at least equal to the borehole diameter d0. The round steel brush shall produce natural resistance as it
enters the drill hole. If this is not the case, please use a new brush or a brush with a larger diameter.

Dispensing into the hole:
EPCON C8 XTREM
• Storage temperature of cartridge +0°C to +35 °C
• Cartridge temperature at time of installation: Must be ≥ +5°C
• Minimum building component temperature ≥ +5°C
• Check the date of expiry of the cartridge
Safety precaution
The safety data sheet must be red before using the product and the safety instructions must be followed.
1. Put the anchorage depth mark on the rebar
2. Check the anchorage depth
3. Cut the piston plug at the relevant diameter. The volume of resin
that need to be injected in the hole must be indicated on the mixing
nozzle or its extension. The marking must be placed at 0.5 time the
anchorage depth
4. Screw the mixing nozzle onto the cartridge and dispense the
first part to waste until an even color is achieved for each new
cartridge or mixing nozzle. Insert the nozzle to the far end of the
hole, and inject the resin, withdrawing the nozzle as the hole fills.
Fill the hole until the mark appear.
Inserting the rebar:
1. Immediately insert the rebar, slowly and with a slight twisting

motion. Remove excess resin from around the mouth of the
hole before it sets. Control the embedment depth.
2. Leave the rebar undisturbed until the cure time has elapse.
