What Is ICCONS®?

ICCONS® supplies construction fastening technology through an extensive Australian product range backed by technical documentation, installation guidance & specialist support resources. Its products address connections into concrete, masonry, steel, timber & other construction materials across anchoring, adhesives, nailing, screws, rivets, drilling, diamond equipment & associated tools.

Anchoring is a particularly important part of the ICCONS® portfolio. Depending on the individual product, ICCONS® provides mechanical & chemical anchoring solutions for cracked or non-cracked concrete, masonry & other nominated base materials.

Selected products within the range carry documented performance relevant to demanding construction work, including:

► National Construction Code compliant options
► European Technical Assessment documentation on nominated anchors
► Cracked-concrete approved products
► C1 & C2 seismic assessed options
► Fire-assessed or fire-rated products
► Solutions suitable for design under applicable Australian post-installed fastening requirements

These characteristics belong to individual products rather than every product carrying the ICCONS® name. Always verify the exact anchor, fastener or adhesive against its technical documentation, substrate, installation conditions & project requirements.

Why Choose ICCONS®?

Concrete Anchoring Is a Major ICCONS® Strength

A base plate, façade bracket, handrail connection & suspended service can all meet concrete while demanding very different fixing performance. ICCONS® addresses that variation through screw bolts, Thru-Bolt stud anchors, sleeve anchors, drop-in anchors, heavy-duty anchors & chemical anchoring systems.

For demanding mechanical anchoring, ICCONS® offers systems extending from versatile screw-in products through to torque-controlled expansion anchors for residential, commercial, industrial & civil applications.

Chemselect Covers More Than One Adhesive Technology

Chemical anchoring requirements change with the connection, base material, working conditions & specified performance. ICCONS® Chemselect includes Pure Epoxy, Hybrid, Vinylester & Polyester injection systems for applicable threaded stud, threaded rod, internally threaded socket & reinforcing-bar installations.

Selected Chemselect products provide documented performance for cracked concrete, seismic, fire or other nominated applications.

Mechanical Anchors Provide Different Ways to Make the Connection

Not every concrete fixing should rely on the same anchoring principle. Screw bolts create a mechanically interlocking connection with the base material, while Thru-Bolt stud anchors use controlled expansion & other ICCONS® anchor families serve different fixing conditions.

This gives contractors & specifiers scope to consider installation method, load requirements, edge distances, spacing, removability, substrate & exposure before settling on a product family.

Direct Fastening Supports Repetitive Installation

Hundreds of fixing points can make installation method just as important as individual fastener cost. ICCONS® offers gas-powered & low-velocity powder-actuated systems for suitable direct-fastening work across nominated concrete, steel & construction applications.

Compatible pins, fuel cells, charges, clips, washers & specialised attachments allow these systems to be assembled around the intended fixing task.

Specialist Systems Extend Beyond Conventional Anchors

ICCONS® also addresses construction connections that don't fit neatly into a standard anchor category. Structnail® supports steel-frame fastening, while insulation nails, beam clamps, rod hangers, conduit saddles, cable-management fixings & rivets cover other specialised installation requirements.

That breadth makes ICCONS® relevant to builders, concreters, façade installers, mechanical contractors, electricians, fabricators, maintenance teams & other professional trades.

Common Applications

Concrete & Masonry Anchoring

Anchoring into concrete begins with understanding what the connection is expected to do. Steelwork, timber structures, brackets, balustrades, façades, services & plant can require different anchor geometries, materials, embedment depths & documented performance.

Important ICCONS® mechanical anchoring families include ICCONS® | Safety Bolt Hex, ICCONS® | Thru Bolt - Stud Anchor Zinc Gal SS & ICCONS® | Screw Bolts - Toge.

For a practical overview of common fastening principles, read the Fastener Guide Bolts Screws Anchors.

Chemical Anchoring & Reinforcing Bar Connections

Injected anchoring becomes particularly valuable where the connection calls for an adhesive-bonded stud, rod, socket or reinforcing bar. ICCONS® | Adhesive – Chemical Systems brings together the core chemical anchoring products for applicable concrete & construction work.

The installation extends beyond the cartridge itself. ICCONS® | Injection System Accessories supports important preparation & injection tasks with compatible brushes, blow pumps, piston plugs, extensions, sleeves & related components.

Hole preparation, adhesive selection, dispensing, injection, anchor element, embedment & curing all contribute to the finished connection.

Gas-Powered Direct Fastening

Repetitive fastening rewards equipment designed around repetitive work. ICCONS® | Gas Tools & Fuel Cells supports compatible gas-powered fastening applications, while associated collated pins & accessories cover a variety of installation tasks.

Gas systems can be particularly useful where the specified application permits direct fastening & productivity across numerous fixing points is important.

Powder-Actuated Fastening

Low-velocity powder-actuated equipment provides another direct-fastening method for compatible concrete & steel applications. ICCONS® | Powder Actuated Tools & Kits forms the equipment side of a system that also includes compatible PX drive pins, charges, washered fasteners & specialised assemblies.

Gas & powder-actuated systems shouldn't be treated as interchangeable. Each uses its own compatible tools, fasteners, consumables & installation procedures.

Steel-Frame Construction

Steel framing places different demands on a fastener from conventional timber construction. ICCONS® | Structnail represents ICCONS®' specialised approach to rapid fastening into steel frames.

The wider Structnail® system includes engineered fasteners for nominated pull-out & shear applications across steel-frame construction, with solutions supporting cladding, bracing, building wrap, battens & other building processes.

Building Services & Suspension

Above ceilings & through service areas, the upper fixing point can determine the integrity of the entire suspension arrangement. ICCONS® | Beam Clamps & Rizes provides solutions for suspending building services from suitable steel beams without drilling the flange.

The broader ICCONS® suspension range includes concrete hangers, steel hangers, threaded-rod assemblies, clips & other hardware for applicable HVAC, electrical, hydraulic, fire & building-services installations.

Insulation Installation

Insulation needs fixing hardware suited to both the insulation material & the substrate behind it. ICCONS® | Metal Insulation Nails provides Toge TID all-metal nail-in fixing options for compatible insulation installations into concrete, solid brick, aerated concrete & solid stone.

Other ICCONS® insulation solutions use different fastening methods, including direct-fastening products for nominated applications.

Construction Screws

Steel, timber, sheet material & framing connections generate an enormous variety of screw requirements. ICCONS® | Self Drilling Screws Hex & Neo represents an important part of the ICCONS® construction screw range, particularly where drilling & fastening need to occur in one installation process.

The wider portfolio includes self-drilling, needle-point, decking, chipboard, countersunk, wafer-head, washered & specialised screw configurations.

Masonry & Concrete Drilling

The installed anchor can only respond to the hole it receives. ICCONS® | SDS Plus Drill Bits supports common rotary-hammer drilling requirements for concrete & masonry work.

ICCONS®' broader drilling range extends into SDS Max, multi-cutter, carbide, diamond & associated drilling products for different hole diameters, materials & equipment.

Product Selection Guide

The ICCONS® catalogue becomes easier to navigate once the connection is defined. Base material, fixture, loading, exposure, installation method & any required approvals should be established before narrowing the choice to an individual product.

When the Connection Is Safety-Critical?

Safety-critical post-installed concrete fastening requires more than selecting a familiar anchor shape. Product suitability, documented performance, base material, loading & installation conditions all need to correspond with the project requirements.

ICCONS® provides nominated products supported by technical documentation for applicable cracked-concrete, seismic, fire & other demanding applications.

When a Removable Mechanical Fixing Is Preferred?

A screw-in anchor can offer practical installation characteristics where expansion behaviour or permanent stud projection isn't desirable. ICCONS® Screw Bolt families provide multiple head styles & configurations for suitable concrete & masonry work.

Check the exact product because performance, material, coating, approved substrate & installation conditions vary across the range.

When Expansion Anchoring Is Specified?

Thru-Bolt stud anchors remain a widely used approach for fixing steel & timber structures to concrete. ICCONS® Thru-Bolt PRO is a pre-assembled torque-controlled mechanical stud anchor that develops expansion against the wall of the drilled hole.

Selected Thru-Bolt configurations provide documented performance for cracked concrete, seismic & fire applications, with zinc, sherardised & stainless steel variants available across the wider family.

When Chemical Anchoring Is Required?

Chemselect should be considered as a complete installed system rather than simply a tube of adhesive. ICCONS® offers Pure Epoxy, Hybrid, Vinylester & Polyester technologies for different anchoring requirements.

Before installation, confirm the adhesive, base material, anchor element, hole dimensions, cleaning method, dispensing equipment, embedment & curing conditions.

For the wider adhesive category, Adhesives & Tapes provides additional Industrial Shed options.

When Installation Volume Is High?

Repeated fixing can make tool compatibility & consumable planning critical to productivity. Gas tools, powder-actuated equipment, collated fastening & self-drilling screws can each reduce individual installation steps in appropriate applications.

The preferred method still needs to suit the substrate, fixture & required connection rather than being chosen on speed alone.

Expert Tips

Read the Exact Product Documentation

The ICCONS® logo identifies the supplier, not one universal performance level. A chemical anchor, screw bolt, Thru-Bolt & direct-fastening pin can have completely different technical requirements.

Where approval or documented performance matters, work from the information attached to the exact product being installed.

Treat the Drilled Hole as Part of the Anchor

Hole diameter, depth & condition can directly affect a post-installed fixing. Use the drilling method specified for the anchor & follow the applicable cleaning procedure before installation.

ICCONS® also identifies PGM-certified masonry drill bits as relevant where anchor approvals require correctly dimensioned drilled holes.

Match Corrosion Protection to the Environment

Fastener finish deserves attention before hardware reaches an exposed location. ICCONS® ranges include zinc, galvanised, sherardised & stainless steel options across relevant product families.

Material availability doesn't mean every finish carries identical approvals, so verify both corrosion requirements & technical performance.

Keep Chemical-Anchor Accessories Compatible

Changing a mixer, dispensing arrangement or hole-cleaning component can affect the installation process. Use accessories appropriate to the selected Chemselect adhesive & follow its installation documentation.

Deep embedment, hollow masonry & overhead installation can introduce additional accessory requirements.

Don't Mix Direct-Fastening Consumables

A pin that looks similar isn't necessarily designed for the tool on site. Gas-tool pins, fuel cells, PX drive pins & powder charges belong to defined equipment systems.

Confirm tool model, fastener type, substrate & consumable compatibility before issuing materials to the installation crew.

Include Installation Equipment in Project Procurement

Anchors without the correct drill bit or chemical cartridges without the correct dispenser can stop productive work immediately. Build specialist setting tools, cleaning equipment, mixer nozzles, fuel cells, charges & other required accessories into the material schedule.

For larger project mobilisation, Spring Jobsite Prep Getting Your Gear Ready provides practical preparation guidance.

Verify Before Substituting a Specified Fastener

Two fixings of similar dimensions can produce very different connections. Changes involving safety-critical anchors, seismic requirements, fire performance, corrosion exposure or engineered connections should be checked against the relevant project requirements & technical documentation.
