Chemical resistance
CA 80 is resistant to salt and waste water as
well as dilute acids and alkalis, grease, fuels and
mineral oils.
7. Application/ Installation details
Mix ratio
Neat CA 80:
by weight Part A : Part B = 8:1
by volume Part A : Part B = 5:1
CA 80 mortar: recommended formulation
By weight By volume
Part A 8 5
Part B 1 1
Graded Sand (CTS 99) 21 12
When mixed as a mortar the volumes expected
are:
4 litre kit + 15 kg sand = 10 litres of mortar
16 litre kit + 60 kg sand = 40 litres of mortar
Minimum application temperature
Cure will not proceed to completion if the
temperature is below 10ºC. Material may be
applied at temperatures down to 5ºC, but cannot
be brought into service until the temperature has
exceeded 10ºC for at least 48 hours.
Surface preparation
ƒ Complete durable adhesion can only be
achieved if the surfaces to be bonded are
properly pretreated. In all cases except for
concrete, the pretreatment procedure should
be to DEGREASE, ABRADE AND
DEGREASE AGAIN. For concrete, the final
degreasing procedure can be omitted but all
loose material and dust must be removed.
ƒ Degreasing: The removal of all traces of
dirt, oil and grease can be achieved by using
a solvent such as Eposolve CE 70, acetone,
trichloroethane, etc. Methylated spirits, petrol
and paint thinners are unsuitable. Concrete
should be degreased by washing with a
strong detergent solution.
Note: Most solvents are highly flammable.
The prescribed safety precautions must
always be taken.
ƒ Abrading: Grit-blasting is the ideal
pretreatment for metallic and non-metallic
surfaces. If grit blasting is impractical or
HILTI CA 80 Technical Data Sheet No: 2004/01
cannot be carried out, alternative
pretreatments include abrading thoroughly
with a grinder, needle gun, scabbler, emery
cloth or similar.
Mixing
Thoroughly blend Part A and Part B components
mechanically or by hand in a clean mixing
container. Full kits can be mixed in the Part A
container. Mortar formulations should ensure the
sand is uniformly mixed before addition to the
Part A / Part B blend. During final mixing check
the sides and bottom of the mixing container to
ensure thorough mixing. Mixing should be
complete within 5 minutes, and the mix then
applied to the job as quickly as possible.
Pot life
ƒ 1 litre of mix will have a usable life as
follows:
Neat CA 80 CA 80 mortar
@ 15ºC 60 minutes 100 minutes
@ 25ºC 30 minutes 50 minutes
@ 35ºC 15 minutes 25 minutes
NOTE: A 10ºC increase or decrease in
temperature will half or double the pot life
and cure times respectively.
Cleaning
ƒ Any spillages should be cleaned up as they
occur. Use dry sand or sawdust to soak up
bulk of large spillages, and deposit into
waste drums. Clean up small spillages
before they set with Eposolve CE 70 or
warm water and detergent before the
adhesive has had time to set. Once this
product has cured only severe heat or
prolonged immersion in a powerful solvent
will break it down.
8. Coverage
ƒ This will depend on surface roughness.
Generally spreads of 0.25 mm to 0.5 mm
thickness are adequate for most bonding
purposes. These correspond to usage by
weight of 0.38 to 0.76 kg per square metre.
Note that 1 litre of mix applied to 1 square
metre will give a thickness of 1 mm.
9. Storage
ƒ The product has a shelf life of at least one
year provided that it is stored at 5ºC to 35ºC

in a dry place and in sealed original
containers.
10. Safety precautions
ƒ This material has been formulated with the
objective of being as safe as possible.
However, in common with most epoxy resins
and hardeners, consistent skin contact with
uncured materials may cause irritation of
sensitive skins. For this reason contact with
the uncured materials must be avoided at all
times.
ƒ If skin contact occurs, remove contaminated
clothes and wash skin thoroughly with soap
and water.
ƒ If in eyes, hold eyes open, flood with water
for at least 15 minutes and see a doctor.
ƒ If allergic response (irritation, wheezing, etc)
occurs, seek medical advice. Remove or
discard contaminated clothing
Read Material Safety Data Sheet prior to use.

Recommended working procedures are as

follows:

ƒ Before commencing work make sure that

there is a good supply of:
o Clean overalls, rubber gloves, thin
cotton inner gloves and goggles or face
shields
o Barrier cream
o Waterless hand cleaner
o Absorbent paper towels or clean rags
o Water
o Apply barrier cream to exposed skin
areas

ƒ During work:
o If material comes into contact with skin,
wipe off immediately with paper or rags
and wash with water (use waterless
hand cleaner if necessary).
o Do not use solvents to wash skin.
o If overalls or inside of gloves become
contaminated, remove as soon as
practicable and replace with clean
overalls and gloves.
o Reapply barrier cream after washing.
o If the material is used in fully confined
spaces, a means of removing any
fumes must be provided. A respirator is
not necessary.

NOTE: All mandatory and recommended

industrial hygiene procedures should also be
followed.

11. First Aid

ƒ If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting. Give

a glass of water.
ƒ If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or
Poisons Information Centre (ph 131 126).
