The Rawlplug R-KEM II is a high-performance, styrene-free polyester resin supplied in a convenient 300 ml cartridge. Engineered for versatility and reliability, this chemical anchor provides a robust solution for fastening heavy-duty elements into a wide range of construction materials. Its advanced formula is designed to deliver excellent adhesion and long-term structural stability, making it a dependable choice for both professional contractors and demanding DIY projects.
Advantages
This polyester resin stands out due to its styrene-free composition, which significantly reduces odor and makes it safer for use in enclosed or indoor spaces. The formula offers exceptional bonding strength, ensuring that anchors remain securely fixed even under significant load. Its rapid curing time allows for efficient workflow on construction sites, while the high-quality chemical properties ensure resistance to environmental factors, providing durability in both indoor and outdoor applications.
Suitable for
- Fixing structural steel components to masonry
- Installing railings, balustrades, and handrails
- Securing heavy machinery or equipment to concrete floors
- Mounting brackets and support systems in brickwork
- General construction and renovation fastening tasks
When it may not be suitable
This product is not intended for use in high-temperature environments that exceed the thermal limits of the resin, as this may compromise the structural integrity of the bond. Additionally, it is not recommended for applications requiring extreme chemical resistance or for use in materials that are highly saturated with water or oil, as these conditions can interfere with the curing process.
Key specifications
- Volume: 300 ml
- Composition: Styrene-free polyester resin
- Application: Masonry and concrete
- Environment: Indoor and outdoor
How to use
To use the Rawlplug R-KEM II, first ensure the drill hole is clean and free of dust or debris, as this is critical for achieving maximum bond strength. Insert the cartridge into a standard manual or pneumatic dispensing gun. Extrude the resin through the mixing nozzle, discarding the initial amount until a uniform color is achieved. Inject the resin into the hole starting from the bottom to prevent air pockets, then insert the anchor rod with a slight twisting motion. Allow the resin to cure fully according to the specified time before applying any load.
What to consider before purchase
- Check the compatibility of the resin with your specific base material
- Ensure you have a compatible dispensing gun for 300 ml cartridges
- Verify the required hole diameter and depth for your specific anchor size
- Consider the ambient temperature, as it affects the curing time
Usage recommendations
Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves and safety glasses, during application. Ensure adequate ventilation when working in confined spaces and follow the manufacturer's curing time guidelines strictly to guarantee the safety and stability of the installation.
