I have an application where I've got some FRP Angle pieces I need to attach to uncracked concrete. I had thought to simply use expansion anchors, but wondered if there might be someone who makes fiberglass (FRP) versions of those, or if I could simply epoxy them into place similar to HILTI epoxy anchor system.

It would seem logical to use FRP rather than metal anchors. There's not anticipated to have a significant amount of force on the angles. This is just to hold them in place.

I'd stick with stainless fasteners. You might experience degradation of the FRP from the alkalinity of the concrete.

Regards,

DB
