CONSTRUCTION FIXINGS
G&B Fissaggi 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 concrete with threaded bars and rebars.
G
&B Fissaggi highlights that 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
loads values even on semisolids and hollow supports. It is 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 max 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.
Out of the blue
Below adunoX GmbH explains how by using BLUEfast500®
drywall screws it is possible to
avoid time-consuming and expensive rework caused through rust damage.
The challenge Drywall screws are often exposed to many atmospheric effects
with high humidity, due to long seat transportation, storage and processing, which often leads to early rust discolouration. During processing of drywall screws there are many potential
issues that can lead to rust problems. These include exposure of the screws to a wet environment; packaging processes carried out in a high humidity atmosphere. It is also sometimes possible that production methods are not sufficiently accurate. All of these issues can result in financial damage, as the screws
may no longer be usable or already performed work may need rectification. The actual cost of the drywall screws may be only a small percentage of the total construction investment, but if rust problems occur and completed walls or ceilings require rectification there can big losses.
The solution With BLUEfast500®
drywall screws users can avoid such problems. The BLUEfast500® drywall screws provide all the known advantages
of ‘normal’ drywall screws, but with the advantage of 10 times higher rust resistance. Despite its higher resistance to rust, the Chrome 6 free BLUEfast500® coating is, compared to a ‘normal’ phosphated
screw, much more environment friendly. BLUEfast500®
drywall screws are ideal for ambitious craftsmen,
who demand quality work done quickly and professionally. With BLUEfast500®
rust is no longer an issue.
adunoX GmbH has the complete range of drywall screws with BLUEfast500® coating (fine/coarse/drill point/cementitious board screw) in bulk and collated in stock.
Build securely, work safely
Hilti HIT-CT 1 injectable mortar combines high performance with greater user safety and environmental compatibility – well beyond statutory health and safety requirements.
H 96
ilti tells us it is the first injectable mortar available that makes secure fastenings in compliance with approval requirements while exceeding environmental protection standards. HIT-CT 1 is also one of the most reliable fast-curing mortars available for
making fastenings in concrete in compliance with approval requirements. Its applications range from cost-efficient fastenings in concrete for steel beams and columns, supports for stairs and platforms, railings or safety barriers and extend all the way to post-installed rebar connections for extensions to buildings and the strengthening or repair of existing structures. Hillti compares the reliability of the Clean-Tec technology incorporated in its HIT-CT 1 with that of an airbag in a car.
It greatly reduces risks to the user and environment in the event of contact with the mortar. Hilti HIT-CT 1 contains no pollutants. Empty or even partly-used foil packs can thus be disposed of inexpensively and in all non-hazardous waste bins marked with the Green Dot. Thanks to the unique Hilti HIT foil pack technology, the volume of waste material is reduced by up to 80% compared to conventional hard plastic cartridges and disposal costs are thus cut drastically. Hilti concludes HIT-CT 1 is better for you and the environment, contributing towards better jobsite working conditions and providing the best optimised waste management possible – for the sake of the environment.
