New masonry products for July 2013

Words: Dan Kamys

Blast Window Retention Anchor Systems

CINTEC
Baltimore

CINTEC America offers its Blast Window Retention Anchor Systems. CINTEC’s Blast Window Retention Anchor Systems offer a customized solution for each application and masonry substrate to provide maximum resistance to explosions. At the site, the CINTEC Blast Window Retention Anchor System, fashioned out of a steel bar enclosed in a mesh fabric sleeve, is inserted into the masonry and then connected to the frames. A specially developed, non-polymer, cementitious grout then is injected into the sleeve under low pressure. The grout fuses with the mesh, expands and shapes itself around the steel to fit the space.

Scrubbers can be used to clean hands, tools, equipment, boots, workspaces and other surfaces that inevitably get dirty during construction and repair projects. The new towels contain a water-based, non-toxic formula that safely cleans hard-to-remove asphalt and tar-based products.
