QEP400 - Epoxy Chemical anchors
Two-component, injection adhesive fastening system based on pure epoxy for high loads, offering high performance in cracked and uncracked concrete and under seismic conditions (C1). Used for structural applications with threaded rod or rebar connections in materials such as concrete or rock.
FEATURES AND ADVANTAGES
- Anchoring for high loads in concrete.
- Allows smaller spacings between fixings and reduced edge distances.
- Clean, agile and simple application with manual applicator and mixing nozzle.
- Excellent for applications with dynamic, cyclic and shock loads and seismic conditions (C1).
- Excellent fire resistance.
- Installations in dry and wet concrete and in diamond holes.
- Styrene-free.
- International technical approval (ETA).
MAIN APPLICATIONS
- Structural applications in cracked and uncracked concrete and seismic zones (C1).
- Rebar anchoring for recovery and structural reinforcement in concrete beams and columns.
- Anchoring threaded rods for fixing metal structures and parts.
- Start-ups in concrete structures and walls.
- Post-installed rebar and threaded rod connections in concrete.
- Façade structures.

2 The values obtained are based on the average of tests and technical specifications, using ASTM A193B7 rod and 30 MPa concrete. Attention: these values are ultimate loads, always use the safety coefficient.
3 The characteristic resistance values are based on the combined failure of slip and concrete cone, according to the calculation assumptions of ETA TR029. IN THIS CASE, the safety coefficients must be considered in accordance with the parameters in the product certification.
4 Minimum recommended distance, for shorter distances consult the technical department.
