ADHESIVE INJECTION 

ANCHORING SYSTEM

The Powers Plus range includes many mechanical and chemical anchoring systems that have 

ETA reports and can be used with confidence to meet the new NCC requirements. 

Approval Listing 

Anchor products holding a European Technical Approval/Assessment (ETA) are qualified according to one of the 

following technical guidelines (ETAG): 

• ETAG 001 for metal anchors installed in concrete. (Option 1 for cracked concrete, Option 7 for uncracked 

concrete, Part 6 for multiple use for non-structural applications) 

• ETAG 029 for metal injection anchors installed in masonry. 

• EOTA TR 023 for post-installed reinforcement bars. Products complying with European standards or approvals 

are marked with the CE Marking. 

The German Technical Approval of post installed reinforcement bars certifies that the product meets the 

requirements to be installed by trained personnel. The German Technical Approvals are next to the European 

Technical Approvals the most renowned qualifications of anchor products. 

The Evaluation Service of the International Code Council (ICC ES) provides test guidelines for anchor qualification 

in the US. The technical reports issued on the basis of these guidelines are internationally recognized and provide a 

high degree of safety. 

NSF International is an independent organization that provides standards for e.g. product certification for public 

health and the environment. 

VOC CLASSIFICATION 

Products tested for the emission of volatile substances in indoor air, with a risk of inhalation toxicity, on a scale 

ranging from class A + (very low emissions) to C (high emissions) level. 

Loads evolving from earthquakes are termed seismic loads and are characterised by cyclic loading. The suitability of 

the seismic load is classified as: 

• Seismic Category C1 

• Seismic Category C2 

FIRE RATED 

A fire resistance rating provides the duration of fire exposure for which the anchor product is qualified. Ratings 

within the context of the European Organization of Technical Assessment (EOTA) are based on the following 

Technical Report (TR): 

• EOTA TR 020 “Evaluation of anchorages in concrete concerning resistance to fire”. In general, the design 

strength is reduced if exposure to fire is taken into account. Maximum duration for fire resistance is given in the 

specific product section and generally ranges from 120 to 240 min, depending on whether the anchor product is 

qualified for concrete anchoring or post-installed rebar connections. 

POWERS is one of the founding members of AEFAC (Australian Engineered Fasteners and Anchor Council). 

AEFAC is a consortium made of leading industry partners / suppliers of quality anchors to the construction industry 

and Swinburne University of Technology. 

AEFAC is a new industry-focused initiative which aims to set the standard for the specification, selection, design, 

applications and installation of structural anchors and fasteners in the Australian construction industry. AEFAC aims 

to enhance safety and efficiency associated with the use of structural anchors and fasteners. AEFAC is based at 

Swinburne University of Technology with access to state-of-the-art testing and research capabilities. 

The guidelines and resources being developed by AEFAC are intended to become the codes of practice in Australia. 

As well as being a founding member, POWERS is also on the Board and Technical Committee of AEFAC. POWERS 

also retains membership in several international organisations including Concrete Anchoring Manufacturers.

AC100-PRO 

Vinylester 10:1 Adhesive Injection System 

The AC100-PRO is a two-component 10:1 ratio styrene-free vinylester 

adhesive anchoring system especially designed for anchoring of threaded rod, 

reinforcing bar or internal threaded rod sleeves into concrete and masonry 

base materials. This fast curing formulation is recommended for use in 

concrete and masonry. 

Unlike other systems on the market, one formulation is used for both solid and hollow base 

material applications (when used in combination with sleeves), reducing the chance of job 

site installation errors. The fast curing characteristics of this versatile anchoring system make it 

ideal for use in a broad range of applications. 

Features 

• 12 months shelf life* 

• Low odour level (Low VOC) 

• Curing time: 45 minutes at 20°C 

• Approved for hollow brick (M8-M16) 

• Styrene free, styrol free and odourless 

• Installation down to -10°C

Notes: 

• The above tension load capacities are the minimum values from concrete cone, concrete bond/pullout and steel capacities. 

• The above shear load capacities are the minimum values from concrete cone pryout, concrete pullout pryout, concrete 

edge and steel capacities. 

• C-Pryout: Where indicated capacity is limited by the shear concrete pry-out failure mode. Please use PDA software to 

calculate capacities. 

• Please refer to SATS101 : 2015 for sustained load conditions requirement. The published data may be used when the ratio 

of sustained load to total load acting on the anchor at ultimate limit state is ≤ 0.6. 

• Interpolation is not permitted. Please use PDA software to calculate capacities for the configurations outside the published 

information. 

• Use of PDA software is recommended to calculate the capacities for multiple anchor configurations and single anchor 

installed close to edge/s of concrete, and / or other anchors. 

Combined Loading: Anchors loaded 

in both tension and shear must satisfy 

the relevant combined load equation.

Notes: 

• The above tension load capacities are the minimum values from concrete cone, concrete bond/pullout and steel capacities. 

• The above shear load capacities are the minimum values from concrete cone pryout, concrete pullout pryout, concrete edge and steel capacities. 

• C-Pryout: Where indicated capacity is limited by the shear concrete pry-out failure mode. Please use PDA software to calculate capacities. 

• Please refer to SATS101 : 2015 for sustained load conditions requirement. The published data may be used when the ratio of sustained load to total load 

acting on the anchor at ultimate limit state is ≤ 0.6. 

• Interpolation is not permitted. Please use PDA software to calculate capacities for the configurations outside the published information. 

• Use of PDA software is recommended to calculate the capacities for multiple anchor configurations and single anchor installed close to edge/s of concrete, 

and / or other anchors. 

• To determine working load capacities a further suitable safety factor (minimum 1.4 or higher) shall be applied to the limit state design capacities derived 

from the PDA software. 

Combined Loading: Anchors loaded 

in both tension and shear must satisfy 

the relevant combined load equation.

Quality Control Procedures 

AC100-PRO Vinylester Injection Adhesive is packaged individually. Each cartridge contains an expiry date which provides traceability of the components 

back to the original manufacturing batch. Every batch of material is subjected to extensive physical and chemical property testing during manufacture. 

Each combination of base resin and hardener material batches is tested as an installed anchor to ensure that the proper bond strength is developed. 

These procedures ensure consistent, top-quality performance to the specifier and the installer of the AC100-PRO Vinylester Injection Adhesive.

shows consistent colour. Starting from the rear of the hole, fill the hole up to approximately 2/3 

with uniformly mixed adhesive. 

6 Push the threaded rod / rebar into the hole while turning slightly to ensure positive distribution 

of the adhesive. Be sure that the rod / rebar is seated at the bottom of the hole and that some 

adhesive has flowed from the top of the hole.

(b) Overhead/Horizontal Holes: Attach the plastic extension tube and correct size piston plug to the mixing nozzle. Squeeze 

out separately and discard a minimum of 10cm until the mortar is uniformly mixed and shows consistent colour. Starting from 

the rear of the hole, fill the hole up to approximately 2/3 with uniformly mixed adhesive. 

6 Assemble the correct size retaining cap onto threaded rod at desired position, ensuring accurate embedment depth is achieved. 

7 Push the threaded rod into the hole while turning slightly to ensure positive distribution of the adhesive. Be sure that the rod 

is seated at the bottom of the hole and that some adhesive has flowed from the top of the hole. Ensure the retaining cap 

is wedged in the hole to support the threaded rod during curing time. If additional support is required, or the retaining cap 

does not fit, commercially available plastic wedges should be used as a secondary support system to provide further stability. 

A wedge should be positioned on either side of the threaded rod / rebar to ensure it is stable and centered in the hole. There 

should be no movement or slippage during curing time. Extra measures should be used to support heavier / longer lengths of 

threaded rod to avoid any movement during curing time. Ensure the threaded rod is free of dirt, grease, oil or other foreign 

material. 

8 Allow the adhesive to cure for the time specified for the actual concrete temperature (in dry concrete). Do not disturb or load 

the anchor until the adhesive has fully cured. Follow the longer curing time for wet concrete.

Notes: 

1. Always refer to the product assessment reports and approvals (e.g. ETA) for detailed information including the design criteria 

2. Always use appropriate filters to prevent oil from the compressed air unit contaminating the drilled hole. The compressed air 

shall be free from oil. 

3. Holes may be dry or damp, but should be free of standing water or frost. 

4. For deeper depths an industrial vacuum shall be used to help clean the dust/debris from the holes in steps 2 and 4 for hammer-drilled 

holes. A proper size hose of vacuum shall be inserted to the bottom of the hole for removal of debris/water. 

5. When a longer extension tube is attached to the cartridge for injecting into deeper holes, the cartridge and its contents are required 

to be pre-warmed / conditioned to higher temperatures (e.g. 25-30ºC) just before injecting especially in cold conditions. 

The cartridges shall be stored within the storage conditions but only conditioned to higher temperatures just before injecting.

Mixing Nozzle 

To ensure complete and proper mixing of the two components, the AC100-PRO system uses a proprietary static mixing nozzle. This 

reduces the possibility of mixing errors which are common with hand mixed pourable grout materials. 

Each nozzle contains a series of static mixing elements. As the vinylester components are pumped through the nozzle, they are 

progressively divided and recombined by the mixing elements to ensure precise automatic mixing.
