Please note that the anchor rod and capsule must be ordered separately.

A chemically capped anchor rod is a specific fastening method used in horticulture and other sectors where strong anchoring is required. It consists of a metal anchor rod and a chemical cap.

The chemical capsule is a cylindrical container filled with a special chemical compound. This chemical compound is activated when the capsule is broken or opened. It provides a strong and durable bond between the anchor rod and the buried material, such as concrete or rock.

Installing a chemical capsule anchor rod usually involves the following steps:

  1. Drill a hole of the correct diameter and depth into the underground material, for example in concrete.
  2. Place the chemical capsule into the drilled hole.
  3. Insert the threaded anchor rod into the hole so that the end enters the chemical capsule.
  4. Turn the anchor rod by hand or using a tool until it is firmly seated in the chemical capsule and the buried material.
  5. Allow the chemical compound to harden.
  6. After the bond has fully cured, the object can be secured to the top of the anchor rod using nuts and washers.

The use of a chemical capsule increases the strength and stability of the anchor, making it suitable for applications where high loads may occur, such as securing heavy structures in horticulture. It creates a durable connection that is resistant to tensile and shear forces.
