Ultrabond ACRYL-8CC is a two-component, 10:1 mix ratio by volume, high strength, styrene free, vinylester adhesive anchoring system tested for use with threaded rod and reinforcing bar for cracked and uncracked concrete conditions. Suitable for dry, water saturated and water-filled conditions using threaded rod or rebar. Use in vertical down, horizontal, upwardly inclined and overhead installations.
Ultrabond ACRYL-8CC from Adhesives Technology is a two-component, styrene-free vinylester for anchoring threaded rod and rebar in cracked or uncracked concrete. It installs from 14°F, reaches full cure in 45 minutes at 70°F, and holds through freeze-thaw and in-service temperatures to 248°F. Typical work includes dry, water-saturated, and water-filled holes, plus vertical-down, horizontal, upwardly inclined, and overhead placements. The same adhesive is available as the 10 oz cartridge.

How fast does Ultrabond ACRYL-8CC reach full cure at 70F?
Ultrabond ACRYL-8CC is a styrene-free vinylester and reaches full cure in 45 minutes at 70F. That is the published cartridge schedule on the current ACRYL-8CC sheet, not a high-strength epoxy cure. Do not load or torque the rod until that full-cure window has passed.
Can Ultrabond ACRYL-8CC be specified for potable-water joining?
Yes. Ultrabond ACRYL-8CC is certified to NSF/ANSI 61 for drinking-water system joining and sealing. Keep the listing on potable-water work that needs a fast-cure vinylester rather than a long-cure epoxy.
Does Ultrabond ACRYL-8CC hold freeze-thaw cycling on rod and rebar?
Ultrabond ACRYL-8CC is tested for freeze-thaw on cracked and uncracked concrete with threaded rod and rebar. That is a jobsite reason to keep it on exterior rod work that will cycle through winter.
How cold can the substrate be when installing Ultrabond ACRYL-8CC?
The current Ultrabond ACRYL-8CC sheet allows installation from 14F to 104F. Condition the cartridge toward the published storage band before a cold placement so the vinylester still moves through the nozzle.
Will Ultrabond ACRYL-8CC carry a sustained load at elevated temperature?
Ultrabond ACRYL-8CC resists sustained loads in service up to 161F. In-service temperature after cure is listed from 14F to 248F on the current sheet. Match the load case to that range, not to a different ATC epoxy.
When should a crew pick Ultrabond ACRYL-8CC instead of Ultrabond HS-1CC?
Pick Ultrabond ACRYL-8CC when the job needs a styrene-free vinylester with a 45-minute full cure at 70F and a 14F install window. Pick Ultrabond HS-1CC when the work is a high-strength 1:1 epoxy that also covers submerged holes and core-drilled uncracked concrete.
