The mixer nozzle ensures the proper mixing of the two-component resin and hardener as they are dispensed from the cartridge. Designed with an internal static mixing element, the nozzle guarantees a uniform blend, resulting in optimal bonding strength when the chemical anchor is injected into a hole.
The mixer nozzles are typically single-use, ensuring consistent and reliable mixing for each application. They are crucial for achieving maximum performance in anchoring tasks.
General Questions
What are chemical anchors?
Chemical anchors are types of fasteners that use a resin-based
adhesive to secure metal rods, bolts, or rebar into concrete, masonry,
or stone. They offer high load-bearing capacity and are commonly used
in construction and repair projects.
What are the main types of chemical anchors?
The main types of chemical anchors are polyester, epoxy, and
Vinylester. Each type has different properties and applications, with
Polyester and Vinylester being commonly used for various purposes. The
Dynamic chemical is a polyester styrene-free base while the Dominator
is a Vinylester base.
What is the difference between Polyester and Vinylester chemical
anchors?
Polyester chemical anchors are cost-effective and suitable for
non-critical applications with moderate loads. Vinylester anchors, on
the other hand, offer higher strength and chemical resistance, making
them suitable for more demanding environments and heavier loads.
What are the different size cartridges on offer?
D-Tech Dynamic or Polyester comes in a 300ml tube, and D-Tech
Dominator or Vinylester comes in both a 300ml and a 420ml tube.
Can I return the chemicals after purchasing them?
No, all chemicals are considered Non-Returnable as we cannot guarantee
to the next customer how they were handled or stored.
The Dynamic
What are the advantages of polyester chemical anchors?
Polyester chemical anchors are easy to use, cure quickly, and are
cost-effective. They are suitable for general-purpose applications in
non-critical areas. The Dynamic is easy to dispense and fits into all
300ml caulking guns.
What are the limitations of the Dynamic?
Polyester anchors have lower chemical resistance and mechanical
strength compared to Vinylester anchors. They are not suitable for use
in environments with high chemical exposure or for heavy load-bearing
applications.
In what applications is the Dynamic typically used?
Polyester anchors are commonly used in light to moderate-load
applications, such as securing railings, handrails, and fixtures in
concrete and masonry.
Does the Dynamic have ETA Approvals?
Yes, the Dynamic is ETA approved for non-cracked concrete including
flooded holes, hollow walls and masonry installations. The chemical is
also suitable for aerated concrete.
The Dominator
What are the advantages of Vinylester chemical anchors?
Vinylester chemical anchors offer high mechanical strength, excellent
chemical resistance, and fast curing times. The Dominator is suitable
for both cracked and non-cracked concrete and can withstand harsh
environmental conditions.
In what applications is the Dominator typically used?
Vinylester anchors are used in high-load and critical applications,
such as structural repairs, bridge construction, and industrial
settings where chemical resistance is essential.
Does the Dominator have ETA Approvals?
Yes, the Dominator is ETA approved for cracked and non-cracked
concrete (Option 1) included flooded holes, hollow walls and masonry
installations. It is also approved for threaded rod and rebar (Option
7). The chemical is also suitable for aerated concrete.
What are dry, wet and flooded holes?
Dry hole: this a hole in which an anchor is installed in
non-existent humidity conditions.
Wet hole: this is a hole in which an anchor is installed where
there are existing humidity conditions. This means that inside the
hole feels wet to the touch. We usually come across this situation
during the drying process of a hole or when it has been exposed to
light rain.
Flooded hole:
this is a hole in which an anchor is installed in conditions of total
humidity, that is, the hole is full of water (not to be confused with
a submerged hole). This usually occurs when the installation is
carried out during heavy rain or after a day of intense rain, the
installer may find the hole partially or completely full of water.
Please note that neither the Dynamic nor the Dominator can be used
for underwater installations. This requires an epoxy-based
chemical.
What are mixing nozzles and what are they used for?
Mixing nozzle is designed to mix and dispense two-component chemical
anchors at the same time. Attached the mixing nozzle to a dual
cartridge, the two parts of adhesive will combine and mix by the
spiral part in the nozzle while dispensing. A good mixing nozzle helps
to control the dispensing volume and produce less waste. Always
remember to discard the first 10cm of chemical anchor pumped out the
nozzle onto a piece of cardboard to ensure the 2 chemical components
are properly mixed together.
How many tubes come in a box?
The Dynamic 300ml, the Dominator 300ml and the Dominator 420ml all
come in boxes of 12 units.
Installation and Usage
How do you install chemical anchors?
Drill the Hole: Use the specified diameter and
depth according to the anchor&s requirements.
Clean the Hole: Remove all dust and debris using a
brush and blower.
Inject the Resin: Use a dispensing gun to inject
the resin into the hole, starting from the bottom.
Insert the Anchor: Push the threaded rod or rebar
into the resin-filled hole while twisting it to ensure even
distribution.
Allow Curing: Let the resin cure as per the
manufacturer&s instructions before applying any load.

Can chemical anchors be used in wet conditions?
The Dominator is generally better suited for use in wet or damp
conditions due to its superior chemical resistance. The Dynamic may
lose some performance when used in such conditions.
What is the shelf life of the Dynamic and Dominator?
The chemical anchor resins unopened cartridges have a shelf life of 18
months from manufacturing. Please check the expiry date on the
cartridge before use.
Are there any safety precautions when using chemical
anchors?
Yes, always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such
as gloves and safety goggles. Ensure proper ventilation when working
with chemical resins, and follow the safety instructions.
How do I store the cartridges?
Both chemicals (Dynamic and Dominator) need to be stored between +5C
and +25C out of direct sunlight.
