Sormat introduces KBRM light concrete screw
To beat another fixing challenge the Finnish manufacturer Sormat has released the light concrete screw KBRM.
he metallic KBRM is designed specifically for those challenging light fixings in porous base materials of variable quality, such as aerated concrete and expanded clay aggregate concrete. The KBRM can be installed without predrilling or plugs into the base material. Sormat highlights that due to the KBRM’s protective and corrosion resistant nano-coating
it can be used outdoors also. As well as introducing new products Sormat also constantly looks to develop existing products.
After extensive testing by its research and development team, Sormat has released a mechanically galvanised screw for the Sormat Universal Façade Plug S-UF®
screws have also replaced current hot-dip galvanised (HDG) screws in the S-UF®
. New mechanical galvanised (MG) product range.
Sormat explains that mechanical galvanising of the screw offers several benefits over HDG. The
mechanically galvanised coating process provides smoother coating leaving the hexagon flange screw surface even and thus allowing for easier mounting to the S-UF®
. According to Sormat R&D salt spray testing, 25µm MG coating offers approximately twice as
good corrosion protection results when compared to a 40µm thick HDG coating. “Sormat S-UF®
MG is another trusted fixing from Finland surpassing its HDG coated predecessors in the ease of installation, corrosion resistance and affordability. S-UF® is available
also in zinc-plated and A2 stainless steel versions. Please contact Sormat sales for additional information.”

also leaves the standard SW13/T40 screw head cleaner from coating process residue, contributing further to the easier than before installation of the popular S-UF®
