CONFAST® Double expansion anchors are designed for anchoring into concrete, brick or block base material. Inserting a machine-threaded bolt into the anchor expands the Double Expansion Anchor against the concrete at two points. It is made from Zamac, a non-rusting material, and is available in diameters ranging from 1/4″ to 3/4″. The double expansion anchor is set flush with the base material and is considered a light to a medium-duty fastener. The double expansion allows for better holding values. Purchase online:
Building a solution: Plastic-to-concrete additive plant opens
CRDC Global is turning hard-to-recycle plastic into a concrete additive in Pennsylvania and plans to expand across the country as quickly as it can.
The company in mid-October brought its first commercial-scale facility in the United States on-line in York, Pa. Ross Gibby, CRDC chief operating officer, told Plastics Recycling Update that while the company has “some pretty aggressive goals,” the plastics issue merits such aims.
CRDC takes plastics and turns them into an additive for structural concrete called RESIN8, which reduces weight, slows water absorption and improves insulation. Read more: https://resource-recycling.com/plastics/2022/11/01/building-a-solution-plastic-to-concrete-additive-plant-opens/

The bottom part of the shield may be knurled. The shield also has a smooth, flangeless top that allows either flush or countersunk installation. The expander plug is case hardened and tempered to prevent galling and binding during expansion. The inside of the anchor is threaded. The drop-in anchor needs to be set with a setting tool. Drop-in anchors are also available in stainless steel.
