Anchors, Light Block Anchors & Hi - Load
Anchors
Preamble: Modern
lightweight blocks, or Aircrete type blocks
(autoclaved aerated concrete), are very
common and are marketed under many brand
names. They offer the construction industry
many advantages; they are light, very large
in comparison with house bricks and easy to
handle. But obtaining a good fixing in such
a light and "crumbly" material is an
inherent problem. The soft block anchor
overcomes this fixing problem without the
need for specialist tools and gives as good
an anchorage as these materials will allow.
Material: FM
PRODUCTS’ soft block anchors are made from
high density, heat stabilised polypropylene
, which will remain stable within working
temperatures of -5 degrees Celsius to +110
degrees Celsius. This material is very
versatile and linked with the design of the
anchor, means that the soft block anchor can
be used to achieve high loads in soft
blocks, old brick work and brittle concrete,
where the effect of a normal fixing plug or
metal expansion anchor would weaken the
front face of the substrate
