An even more powerful bond with INDEX® chemical anchors
The chemical anchors of INDEX® offer fixing solutions that provide maximum load capacity, a long service life and a high level of safety in almost any application.
The essence of the system is that the synthetic resin acts as an adhesive between the base material (concrete, stone, masonry) and the installed fixing element (threaded rod, rebar), so there is no expansion force, no cracking, and the load is distributed evenly along the entire installed surface of the fixing element.
This is what makes chemical anchors one of the most popular solutions today in industrial, construction and even DIY applications.

Why is a chemical anchor advantageous compared with a mechanical one?
High load capacity
Chemical fixing does not load at a single point, but transfers the forces along the entire hole. The result of this:
- greater load-bearing capacity,
- safer fixing,
- longer service life.
Crack-free fixing
Since there is no expansion effect:
- it can be used close to edges as well,
- it remains stable even with dense spacing,
- it does not damage the base material.
Flexible sizing
The load capacity can be increased simply:
- with a deeper hole,
- with a larger diameter,
- by applying more adhesive.
How should a chemical anchor be installed correctly?
- Marking out the hole according to the appropriate dimensions (diameter, length)
- Drilling, then thorough cleaning (with compressed air or a vacuum cleaner)
- Injecting the resin with a dispenser gun
- Inserting the threaded rod, with a slight turning motion
- Waiting out the curing time, then final fixing
Correct installation is of key importance for achieving the load-bearing capacity.
Summary
INDEX® chemical anchors can be planned at system level, because they offer you a suitable solution for every application.
- The MO-PU Universal is ideal for general fixings.
- The MO-V Vinyl Ester comes into play where heavy loads, an industrial environment and long-term safety are required.
