What Is an Adhesive Anchor?
An adhesive anchor is a support bolt that is inserted into a base material such as concrete, stone or masonry like a post via a drilled hole for the purpose of load transfer. An adhesive, such as an epoxy filling, is used to secure the anchor in the base material.
What Are Adhesive Anchors Used For?
Adhesive anchors enable you to secure building materials and attachments to the surfaces of walls, floors and concrete. They are typically used in commercial construction for walkways, building foundations, road systems, bridges, roofing and other applications that require increased strength.
Adhesive anchors are also ideal for DIY home improvement projects such as mounting shelves or artwork.
What Are Adhesive Anchor Tools?
To correctly install the anchor, these specific tools are needed:
- - Hole-cleaning brushes: Used for cleaning the drilled hole prior to installing the adhesive anchor. These brushes typically have nylon or wire bristles and a wire handle.
- - Adhesives: Typically epoxy or acrylic.
- - Mixing nozzles: Designed to accurately proportion and mix adhesives.
- - Dispensing tools: Used to dispense the adhesive into the drilled hole. Features a steel carriage for adhesive cartridge placement.
How Do You Use Adhesive Anchor Tools?
To properly use adhesive anchor tools during installation, you can use these basic steps as a guide:
- - Drill a hole to the specified diameter and depth of the anchor piece you are using.
- - Blow dust from the hole and use a hole-cleaning brush to remove any remaining debris.
- - Assemble your dispensing tool by attaching the mixing nozzle and inserting the cartridge.
- - Fill the hole with adhesive to the specified level.
- - Insert a clean anchor, turning it slowly until it touches the bottom of the hole.
- - Let the anchor sit undisturbed until it is fully cured.
