focuses on quality G & B Fissaggi, based in Turin, Italy, says that its GEBOFIX PRO VE-SF vinylester, styrene free, resin is a high quality bonded anchor for high performance,which is CE OPTION 7 approved, for applications on non cracked concretewith threaded bars and rebars.

& B Fissaggi highlights that the GEBOFIX PRO VE-SF is suited for fixing medium and heavy loads on solid and hollow supports: stone, concrete, aerated concrete, solid and hollow bricks. It is suitable for applications with threaded bars and reinforced bars,


applications on wood and metal carpentry, and for the fixing of façades, railings, pipe connections and profiles. “The GEBOFIX PRO VE-SF grants a safe fixing and high load values even on semisolids and hollow supports. It is also DIBt approved


for application on solid and hollow bricks, Fire Resistance F120 approved, and certified for applications in flooded bore holes.” Available sizes include 300ml, 350ml and 410ml cartridges and storage temperature is from 5°C up to a maximum 25°C. The storage life for the 410ml and 350ml cartridges is 18 months, and for the 300ml cartridge (foil tube) it is 12 months.


From trash to cash


The incentive to recycle waste packaging is not just driven by environmental and legislative imperatives. On the contrary, such socially responsible behaviourmay also produce a tangible financial gain, as Chemfix Ltd, based in Dewsbury, UK, has discovered over the past year.


manufacturer of an extensive range of multi-functional resins for use in the construction industry and DIY markets, Chemfix generates a steady flow of cardboard, pallet wrap and hard plastics waste.


Now, following the acquisition of two compact baling


machines – one for cardboard, the other for plastics - up to three tonnes a month of material is being recovered from the waste stream and re-processed by Cromwell Polythene’s recycling division as part of its ‘closed loop’ supply of bags, sacks and other waste management products. “This has been a great result for us, with more than 30 tonnes


recycled within our first year,” says Chemfix operations manager Peter Hanslope. “We shall shortly be due for our ISO14001 audit and the move to recycling is also playing a key part in reducing

our environmental impact.” “Another big advantage of the new set-up is that our costs


will remain static while our recycling revenue stream increases in-line with additional activity,” he adds. In addition to packaging waste, Cromwell Polythene has


helped the company recycle a variety of redundant hard plastic containers, contributing to the estimated £300 per month that Chemfix is already saving as a result of the scheme. “It’s a win-win for the company as it sees both a commercial


and an environmental benefit,” says Mark Fuller, director of Cromwell’s recycling division. “It’s a scenario that is becoming increasingly familiar, not just to the environmentally aware major corporations, but to SMEs, too.”


KEIL façade anchor design software


T


he software takes into consideration the façade self- weight and the wind force on the complete façade as well as calculating for a single fixing. The 3D display offers a simple pivoting and rotating of the construction, as well


the possibility to directly enter modifications. Modern software layout, an automatic update-procedure and intuitive handling makes using of the software simple and effective. An actual version of the anchor design software may be downloaded from the KEIL website, after registering by email to reg@keil.eu Further information about undercut attachment technologies

Design software, provided on DVD, by KEIL Befestigungstechnik GmbH allows structural designers and façade builders to calculate fixing requirements using plug and undercut anchors.


is available from the website. With more than one thousand successfully completed projects,


KEIL Befestigungstechnik GmbH, based at Engelskirchen near Cologne, is a recognised manufacturer of innovative façade attachment systems based on undercut technology. Based on its own research and patents, KEIL offers architects and façade builders special solutions for attaching façade panels from the rear to avoid visually distracting attachment points on the front. Despite the large proportion of projects abroad, the company continues to carry out development and manufacture in Germany.
