DEWALT releases new chemical adhesives
Industrial strength adhesives suitable for a range of construction and anchoring applicationsConstruction tools expert, DEWALT, is introducing two new chemical adhesives - PURE500+™ and EA70-Pro™ for the construction industry as part of its DEWALT Engineered By POWERS range, offering improved performance and productivity for major infrastructure projects and commercial construction sites.
Both new products provide compliant anchoring solutions for concrete and masonry, meeting the stringent requirements of AS5216-2021 and in turn satisfy the relevant provisions of the National Construction Code (NCC 2019).
Both adhesives have comprehensive European Technical Assessment (ETA) pre-qualifications, DEWALT added.
PURE500+™ is a slow cure pure epoxy adhesive that is ideal for use in large commercial projects and major civil infrastructure projects for safety critical anchoring purposes. It builds on the previous PURE150-PRO and comes with new ETA approvals including a 100-year design life, extensive seismic C1 & C2 approvals for threaded rod and rebar applications, and fire resistance approvals, DEWALT said.
PURE500+™’s two-component epoxy adhesive anchoring system includes injection adhesive in plastic cartridges, mixing nozzles, dispensing tools and hole cleaning equipment and can be stored for 24 months without leakage.
“PURE500+™ has several features including increased bond strength and easier dispensation which allow it to be used in a number of applications including in diamond cored holes and in wet and water filled holes,” said Stanley Black & Decker Group Product Marketing Manager, Justin Goode.
“It has been approved for use in several tunnelling and major road projects throughout Australia.”
The EA70-Pro™, on the other hand, is an Epoxyacrylate adhesive injection system which supersedes PV45-PRO. EA70-Pro™ is a medium duty, fast curing adhesive for threaded rod applications in concrete and masonry substrate.
It comes with new ETA approvals for use in hollow and solid brick and substrates such as aerated concrete.
DEWALT Design Assist (DDA), a free structural design software that streamlines, automates, and optimises DEWALT anchoring products in accordance with Australian Standard AS5216:2021, has been updated to include PURE500+ & EA70-PRO chemicals into its design parameters.
