Method of applying chemical anchoring adhesive

摘要

A method of applying a chemical anchoring adhesive to the interior of a borehole (32) includes the steps of providing a highly viscous, self- contained slug (10) of chemical anchoring adhesive, inserting the slug (10) into the borehole (32), providing an anchor pin (34), and driving the anchor pin (34) into the borehole (32) using a driving tool that imparts rotary motion to the anchor pin (34). The adhesive slug (10) includes a first part having a first color and including a resin, and a second part having a second color different from the first and including a curing agent. The rotary motion of the anchor pin (34) mixes the first and second parts together to form a substantially homogeneous composition having a third color different from the first and second colors. The visual indication provided by the third color notifies the worker when the mixing is complete, saving time and money at the construction site while minimizing the occurrence of defective or insufficient mixing.
