Spit’s new Epomax + New range of structural screws
Spit continues to expand its chemical anchor range with the introduction of the Epomax + resin.
T
his fast curing vinylester resin comes in a handy 280ml tube, which makes it compatible with standard silicone applicator guns, and functions using a ‘peeler system’
which Spit says guarantees a perfect resin mix and dosage every time.
Epomax + is designed to be used for stud and
rebar applications and can be used in submerged holes and underwater. It is suitable for use when fixing guardrails and cable trays, amongst other applications, comes in a rigid cartridge, which reduces waste, and with two mixer nozzles attached. “If you would like further information about the Spit Epomax + resin, and the range of accessories available to support this product, or would like a product demonstration, please contact ITW Construction Products customer services.”
2011 has seen Simpson Strong-Tie introduce a number of new products to its portfolio and this autumn looks set to see the launch of another innovative new range - structural screws designed to meet the growing demands of the construction industry.
T
he screws are available in a number of lengths, from 40mm up to 400mm, designed for joining multiple timbers together to make stronger single structures. They can also be used to join trusses, I-joists and open web joists, glulam timbers, engineered wood panels
and composite panels. Simpson points out that the screws are particularly easy to use and feature a six lobe drive head. Head of Simpson’s engineered timber division, Jon Head, comments: “Our
expanded range of screws is a complimentary fit to our connectors, particularly the 200mm - 400mm screws which are ideal for the glulam, CLT (Cross Laminated Timber) and SIPS (Structurally Insulated Panel) sectors which require high performance fixings in lengths not always readily available.” This new range is supported by a technical brochure, which includes
performance data, safe working loads data and characteristic performance values to aid the designer. As ever, the range is backed by Simpson’s dedicated support service and technical support.
