In this video, we explain what the different types of chemical anchors are, how to choose the most suitable one for your material and load requirements, and how to apply each type correctly by following the instructions on the technical datasheet.

Check out our range of chemical anchors

Chemical anchors, also known as resin or chemical fixings are the products most widely used by both professionals and DIY enthusiasts to secure elements to different materials.

They are excellent solutions for fitting heavy-duty elements to both solid materials (concrete and stone) as well as hollow materials (masonry and hollow bricks). Basically, they act as an adhesive between the material and the inserted rod or shank. Chemical anchors/fixings have the following advantages:

Maximum performance

They can bear higher loads than mechanical fixings as the load is borne by the whole surface area of the perforation providing extra strong anchorage.

Flexibility

Chemical anchors provide flexibility during work to adapt the fixing strength to the load requirements of the application. They allow the load capacity to be easily increased, if necessary, by increasing the depth or diameter of the drill.

No stress exerted

Chemical anchors work through adherence and not through expansion like other fixings that work through pressure. This means that there is no stress generated in the surface around the perforation, allowing installation closer to the edge and with a smaller space between fixings.

How to install a chemical anchor

Chemical anchors can be installed in a few simple steps.

1.

Marks holes according to the size of the screen.

2.

Once the holes have been made, clean the dust from the area for better adhesion. For example, with a blower or vacuum cleaner.

3.

Squeeze on the trigger repeatedly until the mortar comes out of the nozzle in a uniform grey color. Any iridescence indicates improper mixing. Insert the screen and inject the chemical anchor. Always from the middle outwards. We recommend pulling the bag out of the container so the product can come out easily and you can add the tube.

4.

Once the chemical anchor has been inserted, insert the rod, turning this so it has good contact with the product.

5.

Leave for a while until the product has cured and once it has you can install the part you want to fix as well as the screw to hold it in place.

Following these steps you will be able to use chemical anchors safely and effectively.
