European Technical Assessment will shortly be issued for Chemfix Polyester chemical anchors, under the ETAG 029 for Masonry. This completes three Chemfix ETA options for use in Masonry.
ETAG 029 applies to the use of injection anchors in masonry units of clay, calcium silicate, normal weight concrete, lightweight aggregate concrete (solid and hollow format blocks), autoclaved aerated concrete or other similar materials.
Chemfix also holds ETAs for Masonry on Chemfix EASF and Chemfix PESF besides ETAs for concrete and rebar.
An important aspect of ETAs is the assumed working life of the anchor given as:
The provisions and the verification and assessment methods included or referred to in this ETAG have been written based upon the assumed working life of the injection anchors for the intended use of 50 years when installed in the works, provided that the injection anchors is subject to appropriate installation and use.
ETA's are accepted as the single most important approval governing chemical anchoring technology in the current era.
