Chemical Anchor Studs
Chemical anchor studs are designed for use with resin systems to create secure fixings in concrete and masonry. Available in zinc plated and hot dipped galvanised finishes.
Resin Anchor Studs for Structural Chemical Fixings
Chemical anchor studs, also referred to as resin anchor studs or chemical anchor rods, are threaded fixings designed for use with chemical fixings and resin anchor systems in concrete and masonry.
When installed with resin, they form a strong bonded fixing suitable for structural steel, base plates, handrails and heavy-duty bracket installations.
Each stud features:
- Chisel point to prevent rotation during tightening
- External hex drive
- Embedment depth mark
- Manufactured from Grade 5.8 carbon steel
Available Sizes & Typical Applications
Our resin anchor studs are available in the following sizes, suitable for use with chemical fixings in concrete and masonry:
| Size | Typical Applications |
|---|---|
| M8 x 110 | Light structural brackets, handrails and small base fixings |
| M10 x 130 | Medium-duty structural brackets and support fixings |
| M12 x 160 | Base plates and heavier structural connections |
| M16 x 190 | High-load structural steel and heavy bracket fixing |
| M20 x 260 | Heavy-duty structural and industrial applications |
These resin anchor studs are designed for applications where strong, load-bearing chemical fixings are required.
Zinc vs Hot Dipped Galvanised - Choosing the Right Finish
Selecting the correct coating is essential for durability and corrosion resistance.
| Finish | Best For | Corrosion Resistance |
|---|---|---|
| Zinc Plated | Internal dry environments | Moderate |
| Hot Dipped Galvanised | External or exposed environments | High |
Zinc plated resin anchor studs are typically used for internal structural work.
Hot dipped galvanised chemical anchor studs are recommended for outdoor installations or exposed environments.
Supplied Options
Selected sizes are supplied complete with matching nuts and washers for convenient installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a resin anchor bolt and a chemical anchor stud?
They refer to the same threaded fixing used with resin systems.
Are chemical anchor rods suitable for concrete?
Yes. They are specifically designed for use with resin anchors in concrete and masonry.
Should I use zinc or galvanised anchor studs?
Use zinc for internal environments. Use hot dipped galvanised for external or exposed installations.
What are chemical fixings used for?
Chemical fixings are used to secure threaded studs into solid substrates for structural and load-bearing applications.
