If you are a DIY fan, I think that, in addition to being interesting for you, this article will come in handy since, in addition to the load test, we are going to carry out a simple contest in which the winner will win a batch of Index products. A little further down you have the rules of the contest. Do not miss it and participate!!
Not long ago we published this other article Chemical anchoring and adhesive for high loads in which we tested the monocomponent hybrid polymer-based MS High Tack adhesive. With only two drops of adhesive we held a medium load.
If you haven’t had the opportunity to see it, I advise you to do so since we will tell you everything about the MS High Tack adhesive and about the MO-H chemical anchor, both from Index to Perfect Fixing.
Well, today we are going to take it to the limit with a very heavy load.
The contest prize consists of this batch of products made up of:
- A professional applicator gun for 300ml cartridges suitable for all types of adhesives, silicones and chemical anchors.
- The MO-H chemical anchor.
- And the High Tack adhesive that we will take today to the limit.
But before going into detail about the contest, let’s see what the load test will consist of.
Load Test
The test that we are going to carry out will consist of adding controlled loads until the resistance of the adhesive collapses.
Leave a comment on our YouTube channel indicating the maximum load that you think it will support, interact on our page of Instagram and you can participate in the draw for this batch of products. The complete contest rules are below.
Before getting down to work we have to make the following clarification. Any type of fixing or anchoring can withstand two types of stress:
On the one hand, there is the shear strength, which is the force perpendicular to the axis of the anchor. And on the other, the tensile strength, which is the force parallel to the axis of the anchor. Well, the test we will do will be the latter, which is the most delicate.
We are going to use this steel anchor that we will fix to this wooden structure with two small cords of High Tack adhesive of 3 cm2 each.
And we will use a finer nozzle for the application of the adhesive to control the quantity provided.
We will hang the structure from these two wooden beams. And, by means of two slings we are going to suspend a heavy load, adding it little by little.
The starting point will be a weight of 65,600 kg provided by the base, plus a 25 kg bag of mortar.
From here we will add small loads, until the joint collapses, or the structure that supports all the weight is in danger, in which case we will stop adding loads.

So that you can get a clearer idea of the test carried out, we include below the video of the entire process. Well, of all, we will reveal the final part in 15 days.
