G5: Now for Cracked, Uncracked, & Seismic Conditions


Addison, IL - Epcon G5 adhesive, manufactured by ITW Red Head has received an updated evaluation report (ESR# 1137) from ICC Evaluation Service, Inc. (ICC-ES). This report now certifies the use of G5 in cracked, uncracked and/or all seismic conditions. Building officials, architects, contractors, specifiers, and others utilize evaluation reports to provide a basis for using or approving G5 in construction projects adhering to the 2009 International Building Code.

G5, the same high strength epoxy formulation made in the U.S.A., out performs the competition in outdoor applications with excellent spacing and edge distance data. This adhesive is the most versatile, able to be used for all extreme conditions.

ICC-ES thoroughly examined Red Head's product information, test reports, calculations, quality control methods and other factors to ensure the product is code compliant.
