Adhesive anchors
Structural Fixings for Ductwork Systems BG 10/2010, By Glenn Hawkins, Published by BSRIA in 2010, states in relation to the working principles of structural fixings: ‘Bonding is the working principle of adhesive anchors. An adhesive bond is formed between the metal anchor and the hole wall by a synthetic resin. The curing of the resin is characterised by two critical times: Gel (or open) time: The time from the end of mixing to when the insertion of the anchor into the bonding materials should take place. Curing time: The minimum time from the end of mixing to when the anchor may be torqued or loaded. In addition to hole depth, hole diameter and anchor embedment depth, hole cleanliness is a key criteria that affects performance of these fixings.’
