Anchoring Adhesives for Concrete
Permanently set threaded rods, studs, and rebar in dry concrete with these two-part epoxies. They form a weather-resistant chemical bond that seals out moisture and resists vibration and dynamic loads better than mechanical anchors. The size listed is the combined total of the two parts. Warning: Allowable pull-out strength is 25% of ultimate values or less, as required by building authorities.
Adhesives in cartridges can also be used in damp concrete. Use a mixer nozzle and dispensing gun (dispensing gun sold separately) to simultaneously mix and dispense adhesive.
Adhesives in pails have epoxy and hardener in separate containers that can be mixed in the pail.

Submersible Anchoring Adhesives for Concrete
When concrete is saturated with or submerged in water, use these epoxies to permanently set threaded rods, studs, and rebar. They form a weather-resistant chemical bond that seals out moisture and resists vibration and dynamic loads better than mechanical anchors. Warning: Allowable pull-out strength is 25% of ultimate values or less, as required by building authorities.

Anchoring Adhesive Kits for Concrete
Permanently set threaded rods, studs, and rebar in concrete with these kits. They include applicators and mixer nozzles to simultaneously mix and dispense the adhesive. These adhesives form a weather-resistant chemical bond that seals out moisture and resists vibration and dynamic loads better than mechanical anchors. Warning: Allowable pull-out strength is 25% of ultimate values or less, as required by building authorities.

These adhesives maintain their strength in temperatures up to 250° F. Use them to permanently set threaded rods, studs, and rebar in concrete. They form a weather-resistant chemical bond that seals out moisture and resists vibration and dynamic loads better than mechanical anchors. Warning: Allowable pull-out strength is 25% of ultimate values or less, as required by building authorities.
Use the included mixer nozzle and a dispensing gun (sold separately) to simultaneously mix and dispense adhesive.

Stainless Steel Adhesive-Grip Female-Threaded Anchors for Concrete
These 316 stainless steel anchors have excellent resistance to chemicals and salt water and may be mildly magnetic. Use them for permanent, high-strength anchoring where vibration is present. To install, fill a clean, drilled hole half full with epoxy adhesive, then insert the anchor until it's flush with the surface. Pull-out strength values are 25% of the ultimate values.

Steel Adhesive-Grip Female-Threaded Anchors for Concrete
A zinc plating provides corrosion resistance in wet environments. Use these anchors for permanent, high-strength anchoring where vibration is present. To install, fill a clean, drilled hole half full with epoxy adhesive, then insert the anchor until it's flush with the surface. Pull-out strength values are 25% of the ultimate values.

Adhesive Anchor Screen Tubes for Hollow Block and Brick
Used with adhesive in bricks and hollow blocks, such as cinder blocks, these mesh tubes create a stronger hold for rods and studs than other anchors. To install, first fill tubes with adhesive (sold separately) and press them into a drilled hole. Hold tubes in place by pressing the tab against your block, and insert a rod into them. The rod will push the adhesive out of the mesh screen, forming a plug that keeps the rod in place once the adhesive dries.
