Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can the Rawlplug R-KEM-II be used in cracked concrete?

The Rawlplug R-KEM-II is specifically approved for use in non-cracked concrete. For applications in cracked concrete, other specialized Rawlplug resins may be more suitable.

What's the difference between this resin and mechanical anchors?

This resin creates a chemical bond within the substrate, distributing load evenly and often providing superior performance in hollow materials or where substrate integrity is a concern. Mechanical anchors rely on friction, expansion, or undercut for fixing.

How do I reuse a part-used cartridge?

To reuse, simply remove the old, potentially cured mixing nozzle and attach a new, unused mixing nozzle (sold separately). Remember to prime the new nozzle before application.

Do I need a special application gun for this product?

No, the Rawlplug R-KEM-II is designed to fit and be dispensed with a standard mastic or sealant gun, making it convenient and accessible for most users.

Is this product suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, its formulation allows for use in damp conditions and even underwater, making it highly suitable for various outdoor applications, provided the substrate is approved.

How long does it take for the resin to cure?

Info needed: Curing times vary significantly based on ambient temperature and substrate conditions. Refer to the product's technical data sheet or packaging for specific temperature-dependent curing times.

What types of materials can I bond with R-KEM-II?

It is approved for non-cracked concrete, solid brick, hollow block, aerated concrete, and natural stone. Always ensure the substrate is clean and prepared according to instructions.

Troubleshooting

Resin not dispensing or mixing correctly.

Ensure the mixing nozzle is securely attached and that the cartridge has been primed by dispensing the initial resin until a consistent, uniform color is visible.

Poor bond strength or anchor failure.

Verify that the hole was properly cleaned and free of dust, the resin was correctly mixed (consistent color), and the curing time appropriate for the ambient temperature was observed. Ensure the correct substrate type for the product's approval.

Cartridge blocked after partial use.

The resin may have cured within the attached nozzle. Remove the old nozzle and fit a brand new, unused mixing nozzle (sold separately) to continue use.

Noticeable odor during application.

The R-KEM-II is designed to be odour-free due to its styrene-free formulation. Ensure the product is within its shelf life and that you are using the correct Rawlplug R-KEM-II cartridge. If an unusual odor persists, discontinue use and contact Rawlplug technical support.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Quick, secure, and simple installation saves time and effort.
  • High versatility across various substrates, including concrete, solid, and hollow masonry.
  • Suitable for challenging conditions like damp, underwater, and overhead applications.
  • Styrene-free and odour-free formula makes it safe and pleasant for indoor use.
  • Cartridge is reusable, minimizing waste and offering better value for money.
  • Fits standard mastic guns, eliminating the need for specialized application tools.

Cons

  • Requires a new nozzle (sold separately) for reusing part-used cartridges.
  • Primarily approved for non-cracked concrete; specific performance in cracked concrete is not highlighted.
  • While common, a standard mastic gun is required, which may be an additional purchase for some users.
  • The 300ml size may not be sufficient for very large or extensive projects.

Setup: 1. Prepare the Substrate: Ensure the hole is drilled to the correct diameter and depth according to Rawlplug specifications for your substrate. Clean the hole thoroughly with a brush and air blower to remove all dust and debris. 2. Attach the Nozzle: Screw the mixing nozzle firmly onto the cartridge. 3. Insert into Gun: Place the cartridge into a standard mastic gun. 4. Prime the Cartridge: Dispense the first few pumps of resin onto a piece of scrap material until a consistent, uniformly mixed color (blue) is achieved. This ensures proper mixing of the two components. 5. Apply: Inject the mixed resin into the prepared hole, typically starting from the back of the hole to avoid air pockets.

Compatibility: The R-KEM-II is compatible with non-cracked concrete, solid brick, hollow block, natural stone, and other masonry materials. It requires a standard mastic gun for application.

Care: For optimal performance and reusability, after partial use, leave the mixing nozzle attached to the cartridge. When you are ready to reuse the product, simply remove the old nozzle (which may have cured resin inside) and fit a new, clean mixing nozzle (sold separately). Store the cartridge in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
