Powers Unveils High Strength Epoxy PE1000

Powers Fasteners, Inc., has introduced a high strength two-component structural epoxy anchoring system to meet the new more stringent International Building Code (IBC) for strength design (Cracked Concrete).

The new PE1000+ pure epoxy features an exceptional 3:1 ratio holding power and is designed for use in anchoring threaded rod, bolts, reinforcing bars and smooth dowels into concrete and other solid base materials. The system also can be used to anchor into hollow masonry materials using threaded rod and screen tubes. PE1000+ is packaged in a specially designed 13-ounce sized cartridge made from an engineered plastic and is dispensed with either a manual or pneumatically operated injection tool*. The adhesive is a premium, high-strength epoxy that can be installed in both long and short term loading applications and is listed as a category product for uncracked concrete, dry holes.

Based in Brewster, New York, Powers Fasteners is the leading manufacturer of concrete anchoring systems and offers an extensive line of adhesive anchoring systems, roofing fasteners, gas and Powder actuated tools and fasteners, carbide drill bits and mechanical anchoring systems. The company has been serving professional construction and plant maintenance markets since 1921, and has manufacturing facilities in Michigan, along with 28 regional sales locations throughout the United States.
