Water-Activated Expansion Anchor Fast Anchoring for Rock Soil

Water-activated expansion anchor with Q235/Q355 steel core & water-swellable sleeve. 5–10 min fast curing, 8–12 tons anchoring force, ISO & CE certified. Ideal for tunnels, mines, infrastructure & coastal projects.

Key Features

Our water-activated expansion anchor utilizes a unique moisture-triggered expansion system to provide reliable, high-strength anchoring without the need for hydraulic tools or heavy equipment. Engineered for global geotechnical, mining, infrastructure and civil projects, it sets rapidly in wet, dry, high-temperature or permafrost conditions.

1. Patented Water-Activated Expansion Mechanism

Core material: High-strength Q235/Q355 threaded steel rod

Outer layer: Premium water-swellable polymer sleeve

Expansion ratio: ≥300% within 5–10 minutes upon moisture contact

Anchoring force: 8–12 Tons per anchor

Working principle: Moisture (groundwater, construction water, or manual spraying) activates radial expansion, creating a tight friction lock with the drill hole walls for stable bonding in rock, soil, and concrete.

2. Certified Quality & Customizable Specifications

Certifications: ISO9001, ISO 898-1, ASTM A325, EU CE

Diameter: Standard 12mm(PM12),14mm,16mm; customizable 10–20mm

Length: Standard 100/200/300mm; extendable up to 800mm

Polymer sleeve: Standard(0–60℃), heat-resistant(up to 80℃), low-temperature(down to -40℃)

Surface treatment: Hot-dip galvanizing(430–600g/㎡), epoxy coating(coastal anti-corrosion), bare steel(dry environments).

3. Performance & Installation Advantages

Tool-Free Installation: No hydraulic pumps or heavy machinery; cuts labor cost by ~40%

Rapid Anchoring: 5–10 min curing; ideal for fast-track overseas projects

High Safety: Shear resistance 110–240kN; stable load, zero material loss

Wide Adaptability: Works in soft rock, broken zones, desert, coastal & permafrost regions

Cost-Effective: Lightweight for low freight; service life ≥10 years; minimal maintenance.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

Preparation

Drill: 14–22mm bit matching anchor diameter
Tools: Tape measure, level, water spray bottle(dry areas), wrench
Drill hole: 2–3mm larger than anchor diameter; 10–15mm deeper than anchor length

Drill & Clean

  • Drill holes per drawing; use spiral bits for soil/soft rock, diamond bits for hard rock
  • Clean dust/debris with compressed air or brush

Moisturize & Insert

Dry areas: Spray 2–5ml water into hole; coastal/humid areas: no extra water

Insert anchor gently; avoid hammering to protect polymer sleeve

Set & Cure

Tighten nut lightly (torque ≤30N·m)

Cure 5–10 minutes (15min in low temp); no loading during curing.

Regional Installation Notes

Dry/Desert: Increase water spray; store in a shaded, cool place

High-Temp Mines: Use a heat-resistant sleeve; install in shade; cool holes

Coastal/Humid: Choose epoxy-coated for salt-spray resistance

Permafrost: Preheat hole to 5–10℃; use low-temp sleeve; spray warm water(15–20℃).
