The News
Hilti introduced the first injectable adhesive anchor system, which if you have not used this system and might have the need, take a closer look at it. It is very easy to work with and very reliable. Hilti brings another product to the table with its new fast cure system. The Hilti Adhesive system is a fast cure system that is designed for anchoring and meets the cracked concrete performance test. This means you can use standard threaded rods and rebar in all seismin zones under the IBC Code. In case you don’t know or are still in the learning process, the IBC is the International Building code.
Whats great about this product is not only the reliability, but the versatility of this product. Most adhesive systems are very sensitive to different climates and conditions. Now we haven’t seen all the data yet, but Hilti indicates the cure time is 30 minutes at a temp of 68 degrees. We are not sure how much time is added per degree. But 30 minutes is great and allows work to continue without having downtime. Now what is great is that you can apply this adhesive to concrete temps of 14 degrees to 104 degrees, which means that even on the coldest of days, you can use this first thing in the morning or even in Vegas in the afternoon. What was told to us by our local rep is that even on cold days at 14 degrees, the adhesive is very easy to work with. This is critical because while some products, not this type of adhesive, we have seen manufacturers claim they work in all climate conditions, but when it comes time, the product is unworkable. We are going to take Hiliti’s word that even at 14 degrees we can still work with this product.
We were told that this product can be installed in damp holes, so we are hoping that cold and damp will not affect this product or the strength of the 150 MAX. This is critical because a lot of sub basements tend to be damp and wet, not even during initial construction but even in older buildings depending upon the type of construction. Best of all is that a user only needs this adhesive. You don’t have to buy special bonding agents, etc. You don’t even have to buy special anchoring systems. Hilti designed this adhesive to work with standard threaded rod or rebar

I’ve been using hilti hy150 for past month. It’s a very easy system to use the fast cure times come in very handy. No more waiting for overnight cure times as in the past. But speed does come with a price. Around 40 bucks for a single tube.
