Anchoring Cement Application

We have a product which is a type of Anchoring Cement. It is useful for bonding e.g. metal to concrete.

Small Tank Installation

It's simple to use. It's mixed in a two part, like an epoxy. Part A is the resin, and Part B is the catalyst. Here's an example where this Anchoring Cement was used.

While admittedly, the pictures don't show the install, the setup for this is as follows:

  • Drill hole in concrete slightly larger than the threaded rod
  • Mix the resin and catalyst
  • Insert activated resin into the hole
  • Insert threaded rod into hole
  • Create scaffolding if necessary, so that the rod stays in position while it cures (vertical in this case).
  • Clean up any excess with Acetone
  • Once the resin has cured, test the bond, then attach any structure.

A similar procedure was used for two part epoxy and bathroom floor toilet bolts (unsuccessfully here, but that was due to user error).

  • There is a youtube video that discusses how traffic lights (and other pole structures) are often adhered to concrete using bolts. Of interest to us here, is that the placement of an item on the bolts can easily be adjusted to get a proper vertical rise. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXWlj2Y_Lc0
