Anchoring rods in set cement concrete and stone require a material that can create a strong bond between the rods and the cement. Ordinary cement mixtures fail to bond to the rod strong enough to anchor them. A bonding and grouting solution is thus required.
Polyester resin based anchoring grouts are the answer to this problem. They form extremely tight and strong bonds between the rod and the substrate. These grouts set extremely fast and can be placed under water. The bond is thus both high strength and water proof.
Anchoring grouts are used for high strength corrosion resistant anchoring of bolts and bars from 10 - 51mm diameter into concrete, rock, masonry or brickwork where high speed of installation and early application of load is required.
Permanent installation of reinforcement starter bars, foundation bolts, base plates, balustrading, barriers and safety fences, railway tracks, tie-back anchors, reinforcement dowelling abutments,
ground anchors for towers, cranes, dock sills are typical applications for anchoring grouts.
The high strength of the cured resin permits strong anchors to be created. The ultimate bond strength developed depends upon:
Strength of host material
Length of resin bond to bar
Hole preparation and formation
Type and dimension of bar
Anchoring grouts are usually supplied as 2 pack products. A Polyester resin and a catalysed filler powder.
Method of Application
Hole preparation and formation
Optimum performance of anchoring grouts require rough sided, dust free holes. Uses of rotary percussive drills with air or water flushing is recommended.
Diamond drilled holes should be under-reamed unless necessary safety factors are incorporated.
Cast holes should preferably be inverse dovetail configuration.
If parallel sides holes are cast they should be rough to provide adequate keying.
Bar preparation
All bars should preferably be degreased and all flaky rust removed.
Mixing
A complete pack of resin and catalysed filler should be mixed in one operation. Mixing may be carried out mechanically. When a smooth, even consistency is achieved the grout is ready for
use and should be placed well within the gel time of the grout. Do not attempt to mix partial pack components.
Installation
Polyester resin grouts for vertical holes
The grout should be poured steadily into the prepared holes. The anchor bar is then pressed into the hole to the required depth.
Slight agitation of the bar will assist in achieving a complete bond. The bar should then be left undisturbed in the required position until the resin is set.
Polyester resin grout for overhead and horizontal applications
The grout should be injected to the rear of the hole to avoid air entrapment.
