For Anchoring Solid-Base Materials into Concrete, Use this Epoxy

| By Chemical Engineering

This high-strength, two-component structural epoxy anchoring system meets the new, more stringent International Building Code (IBC) for strength design (Cracked Concrete). The PE1000+ pure epoxy (photo) features a 3:1 ratio holding power and is designed for use in anchoring threaded rod, bolts, reinforcing bars and smooth dowels into concrete and other solid base materials. The system also can be used to anchor into hollow masonry materials using threaded rod and screen tubes. PE1000+ is packaged in 13-oz cartridges and is dispensed with either a manual or pneumatically operated injection tool. The adhesive can be installed in both long- and short-term loading applications, and is listed as a Category 1 product for uncracked concrete dry holes. — Powers Fasteners, Brewster, N.Y.
