Chemical Anchor Services

A chemical anchor/bolt is when a hole is drilled into a surface, and then filled with some form of resin/concrete, and a bolt is then inserted. When the resin cures this results in an incredibly strong (when installed correctly) mounting/fixing point.

What is Chemical Anchor?

Chemical or resin anchors are generic terms relating to steel studs, bolts and anchorages which are bonded into a substrate, usually masonry and concrete, using a resin based adhesive system. Ideally suited for high load applications, in virtually all cases the resulting bond is stronger than the base material itself and as the system is based on chemical adhesion, no load stress is imparted to the base material as with expansion type anchors and are therefore ideal for close to edge fixing, reduced center and group anchoring and use in concrete of unknown quality or low compressive strength. Although there are many differing variations and delivery systems in the market, all systems operate using the same basic principle with the base resin, requiring the introduction, by mixing, of a second component to begin the chemical curing process, hence the term chemical anchor.
A chemical anchor is a 2-component reaction resin mortar for the medium and heavy load anchoring of add-on pieces in mineral substrates. A special mortar formulation exists for almost every kind of mineral substrate, so that the best possible anchoring can be ensured. Chemical anchoring is becoming increasingly popular as it has many benefits when compared with mechanical anchoring. Manufacturers of Chemical Anchor we use at AL MANARA is HILTI laboratories. - Hilti provides leading-edge technology to the global construction industry. - Hilti products, systems and services offer the construction professional innovative solutions with outstanding added value. - Hilti has its own production plants as well as research and development centers in Europe and Asia. - Hilti currently is the only manufacturer of fixing systems that has an ETA for the use of a chemical anchor in conjunction with a HIT-Z rod in an “un cleaned hole”, in the world.
A fast, secure and expansion pressure-free anchoring of the most diverse elements. - Replaces traditional metal anchors and makes new applications possible,
especially as a result of an anchoring to narrow center distances which are extremely close to the edge being possible. - Suitable for underwater applications and use in extreme environments.
