Lokfix E45T — Polyester Resin Chemical Anchor for General Construction Fixings

Lokfix E45T

Polyester Resin Chemical Anchor for General Construction Fixings

Authorized Project Distributor — Fosroc India | Space Arc Engineering, Ghaziabad

Product Overview

Lokfix E45T is a two-component polyester resin chemical anchoring system from Fosroc for anchoring reinforcing bars, threaded rods, and studs into existing concrete and masonry structures. Chemical anchor systems work by filling the annular space between the drilled hole and the anchor bar with a reactive resin that cures to provide a high-strength bond between the anchor and the surrounding substrate — a fundamentally different load transfer mechanism from mechanical expansion anchors that rely on friction or outward expansion forces. The polyester resin system of Lokfix E45T is suitable for a wide range of general construction anchoring applications: connecting new concrete to existing concrete via starter bars (dowel bars), installing holding-down bolts for equipment and structural steelwork, fixing handrails, brackets, and support systems, and anchoring structural retrofit strengthening elements. Lokfix E45T is supplied as a dual-component cartridge system with a static mixing nozzle — mixing occurs automatically in the nozzle as the cartridge is dispensed, eliminating the need for separate mixing and ensuring correct proportioning of resin to hardener. The system is suitable for use in dry and wet concrete, with a range of anchorage depths and anchor diameters covered by the product data sheet and approval documentation. For applications in cracked concrete, seismic zones, or very high-load requirements, the epoxy-based Lokfix E77 or E55S should be considered. Space Arc Engineering distributes Lokfix E45T for building, industrial, and infrastructure construction projects across Delhi NCR, Ghaziabad, and Northern India.

Applications

  • Starter bar (dowel) installation for new concrete connections to existing structures
  • Holding-down bolt fixing for equipment, machinery, and structural steelwork
  • Handrail post and bracket anchoring in concrete and masonry
  • Concrete stitch repair and connection bar installation
  • Structural retrofit connection bar anchoring
  • Threaded stud and insert fixing in precast concrete elements

Key Advantages

  • Dual-component cartridge with static nozzle — automatic mixing, no errors
  • High bond strength through chemical adhesion rather than mechanical expansion
  • Suitable for dry and wet concrete substrates
  • Wider choice of hole diameter and anchor spacing than mechanical anchors
  • No expansion force — suitable for anchoring close to slab edges
  • Economical polyester system for standard non-seismic anchoring applications

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Lokfix E45T polyester anchor and the Lokfix E77 or E55S epoxy anchors?

The main differences are the resin chemistry and the resulting performance envelope. Lokfix E45T is based on polyester resin, which is lower in cost and provides good performance in dry concrete for standard structural anchoring in non-cracked concrete. Lokfix E77 and E55S are based on epoxy resin, which provides higher bond strength, is suitable for cracked concrete and seismic applications, tolerates wet and water-filled holes better, has a longer working time at high temperature, and has higher temperature resistance. Epoxy anchors also carry higher design load approvals under European Technical Assessment (ETA) Option 1 for cracked concrete. Use Lokfix E45T for standard non-seismic anchoring; specify Lokfix E77 or E55S for critical structural applications, cracked concrete, seismic requirements, or where the highest load capacity is needed.

Can Lokfix E45T be installed in water-filled holes?

Lokfix E45T can be installed in wet concrete holes (damp substrates), but the performance is reduced compared to dry substrates. For installation into water-filled or very wet holes, the Lokfix E77 epoxy anchor system (which has specific approval for water-filled hole installation) is the recommended product. If water-filled hole installation is required, the design load values must be reduced in accordance with the ETA approval data. Always drain and blow out the hole as much as possible before anchor installation to maximise the bond area.

How do I select the correct drill hole diameter and embedment depth for Lokfix E45T?

The drill hole diameter and minimum embedment depth for each anchor bar diameter are specified in the Fosroc Lokfix E45T product data sheet and the ETA approval document. The required design load (tension, shear, or combined) determines the required embedment depth from the load tables in the approval document. Do not use larger holes than specified as this increases the resin volume without increasing bond area and may reduce performance. The ETA approval load tables give characteristic loads for specific concrete strength grades, anchor spacings, and edge distances — a structural engineer should perform the anchor design in accordance with these tables for structural applications.
