Designing for Resilience: The Complete Guide to Chemical Anchoring Solutions

Simpson Strong-Tie focuses on building safer, stronger structures. Their comprehensive chemical anchoring range supports both residential and commercial projects, tailored for local seismic demands.

Understanding the chemistry

Project needs vary: substrate temperature, required load, and installation speed all influence resin selection. Simpson StrongTie's line-up includes:

  • Pure Epoxy (Slow Cure): Ideal for high-load, deep embedments, and large-diameter rebar doweling.
  • Hybrid Mortar: Blends epoxy strength with faster curing for productivity.
  • Vinylester (Fast Cure): Versatile for cracked concrete and masonry, even when damp.

The C1/C2 seismic advantage

In seismic zones, anchors must withstand dynamic, cracked concrete. Simpson StrongTie's premium products (EP-XP, HY-XP, and VT-HP) feature ETA seismic ratings (C1 and C2), meaning they are rigorously tested for earthquake resilience — essential for New Zealand builds.
