Importance of Proper Storage and Temperature Considerations | Chemical Anchors

As it begins to get into the warmer seasons, it is crucial to understand how your chemical anchors can be affected. Not storing properly can result in poor performance.  

Proper storage is vital to maximize the potential of chemical anchors, regardless of whether they have 'fast cure' capabilities. Storing these products in vehicles or non-airconditioned spaces might subject them to higher temperatures than anticipated. 

The Technical Data Sheets, Material Safety Data Sheets, or product instructions outline curing and working times, which are influenced by ambient temperatures. In regions with consistent climates, adhering to the standard recommendations might suffice. However, in areas experiencing seasonal temperature extremes, adjusting storage practices and installation techniques becomes essential.

Improper storage of chemical anchors can compromise their properties, affecting the curing process. Each chemical anchor from Allfasteners comes with a comprehensive table detailing working and curing times, aiding in assessing environmental conditions and planning work accordingly.
