PRESERVING THE PAST. STRENGTHENING THE FUTURE.

The steel

The reinforcing bar forms the structural core of the CINTEC anchor and can be solid, hollow, round or square depending on the application. Each anchor is manufactured to suit the specific project requirements, including load, geometry and site conditions. CINTEC anchors are typically manufactured from stainless steel, most commonly Type 304, with Type 316 used for increased corrosion resistance and rebar where higher strength is required. Other stainless-steel grades may also be specified, and in certain applications non-stainless steel materials may be considered where appropriate to the design.

Presstec™ grout

Presstec™ is a proprietary, pure mineral cementitious grout specially formulated for the CINTEC Anchoring and Reinforcement System. Manufactured from very fine particles, it can be injected over considerable distances and is non-shrink, non-expansive and impervious to absorption once set. Its properties provide long-term durability and resistance to freeze-thaw conditions, without the use of resin binders or artificial additives.

Presstec™ grout is manufactured to CINTEC standards, with strict mixing and injection procedures forming part of the CINTEC Quality Control program. Only CINTEC-approved grout may be used with the system.

The sock

The CINTEC sock is a specially woven polyester-based sleeve designed to expand across the diameter of the cored hole while remaining stable along its length. During grout injection, it contains and controls the grout while allowing grout milk to pass through the fabric and bond with the surrounding substrate.

As the sock expands, the grout conforms to voids and irregularities within the parent material, helping create a strong bond between the anchor and the structure. The sock is manufactured to CINTEC standards and is available in a range of diameters and lengths to suit different applications.
