New Sakrete Epoxy Solutions Announced

Sakrete Epoxy Solutions

Sakrete recently introduced two new Sakrete epoxy products – Rapid Setting and High Strength – designed to securely anchor bolts or objects into concrete or masonry surfaces.


Sakrete Rapid Setting Anchoring Epoxy, as the name suggests, is designed for those jobs where a rapid completion time is needed. It can be used in both horizontal and vertical applications. Working time is about 15 minutes at 75° F with a full cure in approximately 10 hours.

Sakrete High Strength Anchoring Epoxy is designed for those bonding applications requiring exceptional pull out strength. Sakrete claims High Strength Epoxy provides 30% greater pull out strength than Rapid Setting Epoxy. Working time is about 28 minutes at 75° F with a full cure time in 24 hours.

Both new Sakrete epoxy products come in two-component single tubes that are applied using a standard caulking gun (or go cordless with options like Milwaukee’s M18 Caulk Gun). Drilled holes, surfaces and fixtures should be dust free and cleaned of grease, oil and other contaminants before using the epoxy.

“When it comes to anchoring thread bar or rebar into cement, our customers use heavy-duty epoxy to get the job done. Now, they can rely on the same name they trust for concrete to securely anchor fixtures such as railings into concrete.”

–Andrew Krawchyk, Sakrete and Amerimix National Product Manager

Pro Tip: When you’re working with epoxies, it’s incredibly important that you thoroughly clean the hole before applying the adhesive. Any debris or grease in there will reduce the strength of the bond and leave you with less structural integrity than the design calls for.
