ET-3G™ Epoxy Adhesive 8.5 oz. ET3G10

ET-3G™ Epoxy Adhesive 8.5 oz. ET3G10

The Simpson Strong-Tie ET-3G™ (8.5 oz. Cartridge) is a professional-grade adhesive designed to anchor steel rods and rebar into concrete and masonry. This 8.5 oz concrete epoxy is perfect for smaller projects or tight spaces where you need the same high-strength performance in a more portable package. It is tough enough to handle extreme stress and works reliably even in challenging conditions like cracked concrete or damp environments. It is the ideal choice for contractors and DIYers who need a rock-solid, permanent connection that fits into a standard high-ratio caulking gun.

Advanced Chemical & Structural Specifications

• Rock-Solid Strength: This epoxy uses a precise 1:1 mix that hardens into a dense, structural plastic. Once it sets, it creates a rigid bridge that effectively transfers massive weight and pressure from the steel bolt directly into the concrete.
• Deep-Grip Bonding: The formula is designed to flow into the tiny, invisible pores of the concrete. It creates a powerful mechanical lock that stays put, even if the structure is subject to constant vibrations or heavy daily use.
• Waterproof Performance: You can rely on this epoxy in almost any weather. It is designed to cure perfectly in dry holes, damp concrete, or even water-saturated conditions. External rain or ground moisture will not weaken the final bond.
• Heat Resistance: While standard glues might soften in the sun, ET-3G stays stiff and strong. It is tested to handle high temperatures (up to 176°F), making it safe for hot outdoor exposures or industrial settings without the anchor slipping or stretching over time.

Recommended Implementations

• Residential Seismic Upgrades: The perfect choice for securing a home’s foundation or bolting down deck posts in areas prone to earthquakes.
• Home Extensions & Renovations: Ideal for gluing new rebar into an existing patio or garage floor when adding new walls or slabs.
• Fixture & Equipment Mounting: This epoxy is tough enough for heavy factory machines, bridge rails, and highway barriers. Unlike mechanical bolts that can wiggle loose over time, this rigid glue absorbs vibrations from traffic or engines so the anchors stay tight.
• Outdoor & Garden Repairs: A must-have for fixing stone walls, gate posts, or pool equipment. Because it handles moisture so well, it’s the definitive solution for any anchor that will be exposed to the elements or damp soil.

Caution: For a successful bond, the 8.5 oz. coaxial cartridge should be used with a high-ratio dispensing tool to ensure an even mix. You must follow the ‘Blow-Brush-Blow’ cleaning method to remove all dust from the hole; any leftover concrete dust will prevent the epoxy from sticking properly.
