Chemical Capsules

At T&I Chalmers Engineering, we supply Anchorfix spin-in chemical capsules that allow for pressure-free anchoring (where there’s no expansion into the concrete) in high-strength applications. This pressure-free anchoring makes them ideal for fixtures that are close to edges in materials like reinforced and unreinforced concrete, solid masonry and rock. Chemical capsules are heat and light sensitive so they must be stored in a cool dark area.

Low axial spacing and edge distances
Low shrinkage
No smell
Safe long-term performance
Favourable performance in case of combustion

Safe mixing of component A and B
Especially high pull out values for concrete and natural stones
Suitable for static and dynamic loads
Vibrant Resistant
Can be used in wet holes (longer curing times)

How do chemical capsules work?

Chemical capsules are glass capsules containing an epoxy resin, hardener and aggregate. They’re designed to be used with a threaded rod or stud. The capsule is inserted into the hole, then the capsule is shattered with a chemical anchor to release the epoxy resin and the activator. Once the resin and activator are mixed and allowed to cure, a strong bond forms between the anchor and the concrete.

How do you use chemical capsules?

Drill the hole to the correct size and depth.
Remove debris from the hole using the pump and brush. Repeat this process four times (4x) at least.
Insert the chemical capsule into the hole.
Using the drill attachment, spin a chemical anchor stud into the capsule. Ensure the capsule contents are mixed completely.
Allow the resin to cure.

Refer to the installation guide for more info

How should chemical capsules be stored?

Chemical capsules should be stored in a light and temperature-controlled environment, preferably air-conditioned. Chemical capsules can be damaged by excessive heat and light, resulting in a resin that fails to harden and doesn’t set properly.

What is the pull-out load for chemical capsules?

Refer to the Chemical Capsule Technical Data sheet for all technical data.

Can T&I Chalmers Engineering supply material certificates?

Yes, we can. We supply the following types of certificates, depending on your order:

Material certificate (chemical analysis and mechanical analysis for some grades)
Electro-galvanising EG certificate (please request when placing order)
Hot-dip galvanising HDG release certificate on request (please request when placing order)

Note: If you require a certificate, it is advisable that you specify this requirement when placing your order to avoid unnecessary delays.

Is T&I Chalmers Engineering ISO accredited?

We are proud to say that we are a ISO9001 certified company. View our ISO9001 certificate here.
