Chemical Anchors & Adhesive Anchors for Secure Fixings in Any Application

Chemical anchors and adhesive anchors provide exceptional load-bearing capacity, flexibility, and durability, making them ideal for structural fixings, heavy-duty applications, and critical installations. Hilti offers a comprehensive range of chemical and adhesive anchors designed to meet high safety standards, seismic performance requirements and extreme environmental conditions.

What Are Chemical Anchors?

Chemical anchors are resin-based fixing solutions used to secure threaded rods, rebars, and anchor bolts into concrete and masonry. Unlike mechanical anchors, they bond directly to the substrate, ensuring high load capacity with minimal stress on the surrounding material. Chemical fixings use two-component adhesives like epoxy, hybrid, vinyl ester or polyester resins.

Key features of Hilti’s adhesive anchors:

• Exceptional bond strength: High performance adhesives provide secure, heavy-duty fixings in a variety of substrates.
• Seismic & fire rated solutions: Tested to withstand earthquakes, fire exposure and extreme conditions.
• No expansion: Ideal for sensitive substrates, preventing cracking and damage.

Types of Chemical Anchors Available at Hilti

Hilti offers a wide range of mechanical anchors tailored to different applications, ensuring safe and efficient fixing in a variety of materials:

Capsule

Capsule anchors contain pre-measured resin and hardener in a sealed glass or foil capsule. During installation, the anchor rod crushes the capsule inside the drilled hole, mixing the components and initiating the curing process.

Injectable Adhesive Anchor

Injectable adhesive anchors use two-component resin systems that are injected into drilled holes, allowing precise control. They are suitable for threaded rod, rebar, and heavy-duty fixings in cracked and non-cracked concrete.

FAQs

Can chemical anchors be used in overhead installations?

Yes, but it's essential to use the appropriate resin type and ensure proper installation to prevent the anchor from dislodging.

What types of resins are used in chemical anchors?

Common resins include epoxy, polyester, and vinyl ester. Epoxy resins offer high strength and chemical resistance, making them suitable for heavy-duty applications. Polyester resins cure quickly and are often used for lighter loads, while vinyl ester resins provide a balance between performance and cost.

Are there any health and safety concerns associated with chemical anchors?

Yes, potential issues include toxicity and installation risks. Some resins give off fumes during curing. Adequate ventilation and personal protective equipment are required. Incorrect installation can also lead to anchor failure and safety hazards.

Do chemical anchors work in wet or submerged conditions?

Yes, Hilti provides water-resistant adhesive anchors that perform well in wet, damp, and underwater installations.
