DeWalt PURE500+ and EA70-PRO chemical adhesives

DeWalt has introduced two chemical adhesives to market, to deliver a complete anchoring and installation system for the construction industry. The DeWalt Engineered By POWERS PURE500+ and EA70-Pro build on previous solutions, offering improved performance and productivity for major infrastructure projects and commercial construction sites.

Both new products provide compliant anchoring solutions for concrete and masonry respectively while dispensing systems improve application effectiveness and efficiency. With comprehensive European Technical Assessment (ETA) pre-qualifications, both products have been endorsed by the Australian Engineered Fasteners and Anchors Council (AEFAC) thereby meeting the requirements of AS5216-2021 and in turn satisfying the relevant provisions of the National Construction Code (NCC 2019). The PURE500+ chemical adhesive is EAD 330499 approved (ETA Option 1) for use in cracked and uncracked concrete, and EAD 330087 approved (PIR — post-installation rebar) as an alternative to cast-in-place rebars. The chemical adhesive is approved for overhead applications, water-filled holes, and for diamond-drilled holes (uncracked concrete). It also has an A+ VIC installation rating for installations down to 0°C.

For use in large commercial projects and major civil infrastructure projects for safety-critical anchoring solutions, PURE500+ is a slow cure pure epoxy adhesive that is designed to be used in demanding applications. PURE500+ builds on the previous PURE150-PRO and comes with new ETA approvals including a 100-year design life, extensive seismic C1 & C2 approvals for threaded rod and rebar applications, and fire resistance approvals. Its two-component epoxy adhesive anchoring system includes injection adhesive in plastic cartridges, mixing nozzles, dispensing tools and hole cleaning equipment and can be stored for 24 months without leakage and dispensing problems.

The EA70-Pro is an Epoxyacrylate adhesive injection system which supersedes PV45-PRO. It is a medium-duty, fast-curing adhesive for threaded rod applications in concrete and masonry substrate. The chemical adhesive comes with new ETA approvals for use in hollow and solid brick and substrates such as aerated concrete. It is also ETAG 029 approved for use in solid and hollow masonry, and approved for water-filled drill holes and overhead applications. The EA70-Pro also features A+ VOC installation rating and installation down to –5°C.
