Chemical Anchor Fixings
Chemical Anchor Overview
Our chemical anchor systems are from the RawlPlug range which is an all-purpose high performance chemical injection anchoring system for bonding fixings into concrete and masonry substrates.
RawlPlug chemical anchors can be used in place of more traditional mechanical anchors and are by and large considered to be the highest performing concrete fastener on the market. They are particular useful in replacing mechanical anchors in high load rated applications and in applications whereby substrate strength is difficult to determine due, generally, a more even distribution of the load.
They're a 2 part system stored in a chambered co-axial cartridge, the 600m pure epoxy is based on a high strength rapid cure epoxy resin and the 300ml & 400ml polyester is based on a polyester compound mix, it's completely styrene free so it's not harmful to users or the environment and it's not classified as a hazardous material so doesn't need any special storage, transport or empty cartridge disposal requirements on site.
We stock two types of chemical anchors in 2 different cartridge types - Polyester Chemical Anchoring in 300ml and 400ml tubes and Epoxy Chemical Anchoring in 600ml tubes.
Chemical anchors can often be confusing due to all suppliers using wildly different naming conventions, it's often referred to as chem set (a brand name) or chem anchors. Please find our comparison charts down below to make this selection easier.
Chemical Anchor Technical Data
All our chemical anchoring (both polyester and epoxy) is NCC (National Construction Code) compliant, ETA (European Technical Assessment) approved and also AS5216:2018 Australian Standard compliant, so you can be confident you are using a product that both meets and exceeds current regulations.
