Watch this video for a quick guide to choosing the right anchoring adhesive for your application. Selection factors include your application, the base material, the type of insert, the load requirements, environmental conditions, and the cure time. Simpson Strong-Tie has a complete line of epoxy and hybrid-acrylic adhesive anchors that provide a high-strength hold. They’re code-listed for cracked and uncracked concrete, easy to install, and suitable for a wide range of applications. SET-3G™ epoxy is our most versatile adhesive with ultimate bond strength for heavy-duty, structural work. Choose ET-3G™ epoxy for general rebar doweling and threaded rod. For a fast-cure option, AT-3G™ hybrid acrylic allows same-day bolt-up in a wide range of temperatures, including extreme cold.

If adding your Strong Steel Shearwall (24") to an exisiting structure, can we use the SET-3G adhesive to help anchor the included threaded rods into the concrete?

Hi! Thanks for your question. We give cast in place design info using our anchor bolts; but when they pour and then want to use SET3G later that is for the engineer on record to specify and design the application. If you have any other questions feel free to reach out at [phone]. Best, Jade
