The evolution behind Ramset’s ChemSet™ range

When it comes to chemical anchoring solutions, few brands have built the kind of trust that Ramset™ and its ChemSet™ range has.

Now, with the introduction of revamped packaging, the ChemSet™ 101 PLUS and ChemSet™ 801 XTREM™ XC² adhesives have been given a fresh look – without compromising the formula that has made them go-to products for tradies everywhere.

Versatility and reliability

The ChemSet™ 101 PLUS is a multi-purpose polyester adhesive that excels in anchoring threaded studs and starter bars in both solid and hollow substrates. Whether you’re working with concrete, brick, or block, this high-performance adhesive provides a reliable bond that is crucial for structural integrity.

Formulated with marine-grade resins, ChemSet™ 101 PLUS offers full load-bearing capacity in flooded holes, as per the ETAG 001-5 Option 7 assessment standard.

This makes it ideal for a variety of jobs,  from steel columns and beams to machinery seating and handrails. One of the best features of ChemSet™ 101 PLUS is its fast cure time of just 50 minutes at 20°C, allowing tradies to get on with the job.

Its styrene-free, low-VOC formulation ensures compliance with environmental standards while maintaining a low odor, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The product is also vibration-resistant, slump-resistant, and offers a non-drip formula – ideal for overhead installations.

These properties significantly improve productivity, even in challenging working conditions like wet or flooded holes, where other adhesives might fail.

Moreover, the improved packaging now offers even more strength and sustainability. The new cartridge design is made with 30 per cent recycled content and ensures a hassle-free application, free from leaks or unnecessary mess. With a 100-year working life, ChemSet™ 101 PLUS ensures that your installations remain secure and durable for decades to come.

Unmatched performance

For heavy-duty applications, the ChemSet™ 801 XTREM™ XC² takes things to the next level.

Formulated as a fast-setting vinyl ester adhesive, its premium high-strength formulation makes it an ideal choice for the most demanding tasks.

Certified for use in seismic, cracked concrete, and fire-rated applications, ChemSet™ 801 XTREM™ XC² is engineered to withstand extreme conditions, ensuring that your projects remain safe and secure even under challenging circumstances.

This adhesive is fully certified for seismic applications, meeting Category 2 standards when used with ChemSet™ Multicone Threaded Studs.

These studs are designed to compensate for cracks that may form in concrete during seismic activity, offering extra peace of mind in earthquake-prone areas. The fast-curing nature of ChemSet™ 801 XTREM™ XC² is particularly advantageous when time is of the essence, such as during structural steel installations, balustrades, or handrail assemblies. The ChemSet™ 801 XTREM™ XC² adhesive also performs well in flooded holes and other difficult conditions, with a 100-year working life to ensure longevity and reliability.

Its dustless drilling feature adds convenience to the installation process, while its fire-rated properties make it an excellent choice for projects requiring stringent safety standards.

The ChemSet™ Evolution

The updated packaging for both the ChemSet™ 101 PLUS and ChemSet™ 801 XTREM™ XC² adhesives reflects Ramset™’s commitment to improving the user experience. With a new, more compact 600ml cartridge size, these products are easier to handle and more efficient, allowing tradies to work smarter, not harder.

Additionally, the new cartridges are twice as strong as the previous models, providing added durability on every job.

By combining performance, sustainability, and user-friendly features, Ramset™ ChemSet™ continues to be the adhesive of choice for tradies who demand the best.

Whether you’re securing steel beams, installing machinery, or anchoring handrails, ChemSet™ delivers the strength and reliability needed to get the job done right.
