SC Pro Technical Data Sheet

VINYLESTER GLASS SPINNING 

CAPSULE ADHESIVE ANCHORING 

SYSTEM

The Powers Plus range includes many mechanical and chemical anchoring systems the 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. 

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. 

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. 

Quality Control Procedures 

SC-PRO Vinylester glass spinning capsule adhesive anchor system is packaged in cartons. Each carton 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 capsule batch 

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 SC-PRO vinylester adhesive anchor.

SC-PRO 

Vinylester Glass Spinning Capsule Adhesive Anchor System 

The SC-PRO anchor system consists of integrated two-component glass 

capsules and matching chisel pointed anchor rods which are installed using a 

rotary hammer. An outer capsule contains epoxy acrylate resin (vinyl-ester) in 

which quartz aggregate is suspended. The inner capsule contains a hardening 

agent. SC-PRO capsules are the best solution for simple, no fuss, fast setting at 

standard embedment depths with controlled wastage. 

During installation, the SC-PRO system bonds the threaded rod to the base material so no 

expansion forces are exerted against the walls of the hole in the base material. Unlike expansion 

anchors, the anchor can be set close to the edge of concrete. 

Features 

• Simple, fast installation 

• Pre-measured adhesive volumes avoids waste - amount of mortar is exactly fitted to the 

drill hole diameter 

• Designed for use with chisel pointed threaded rod 

• Usable in a wide range of weather conditions 

• Long shelf life of 18 months* 

• Low odour level (Low VOC) 

• Curing time: 20 minutes at 20°C 

• No expansion forces - small spacing and small edge distance possible 

• Two approved temperature ranges: 24/40°C and 50/80°C 

*from date of manufacture 

Approvals 

The following ETA assessment reports can be used to design anchors in accordance with SA TS 

101:2015 which is referenced in the National Construction Code (NCC) 2016: 

• ETA-11/0473 ETAG 001-5 Option 7 - Threaded rod (Uncracked concrete) 

• Approved for two temperature ranges 24°C/40°C & 50°C/80°C

Installation Instructions 

Hammer Drilled Hole 

1 Using the proper drill bit size, drill a hole into the base material to the required depth. 

2 Blow the hole clean using a hand pump or compressed air 2 - 2 times minimum. 

3 Brush the hole with the proper wire brush - 2 times minimum. 

4 Blow the hole clean using a hand pump or compressed air 2 - 2 times minimum 3 . 

5 Shake capsule to distribute adhesive components. 

6 Insert the capsule into the hole. 

7 Insert driver/drive unit in rotary hammer drill. Insert threaded rod to the driver/drive unit. In hammer mode at 250-500RPM, 

break glass and spin rod into the hole until fully embedded. Turn the rotary hammer drill off immediately. 

8 Allow the adhesive to cure for the time specified for the actual concrete temperature. Do not disturb or load the anchor until 

the adhesive has fully cured. Follow 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. 


Threaded Rod 

POWERS supplies a range of adhesive anchor studs for use based on standard embedment depth applications. For alternate 

embedment depths, studs should be cut to specified size as per application requirements. Studs are available in stainless steel, 

galvanised steel and zinc plated carbon steel complete with nut and washer. Environmental factors and application factors should be 

considered carefully prior to selecting the correct stud. 

Chisel Point Stud 

• Suitable for use with Powers SC-PRO capsules or any adhesive 

injection system. 

• Depth set mark for accurate embedment depth. 

• External hex for stability when driving the stud in glass
