cartridges to optimise usability. The foil tube now opens automatically when the cap is opened, so it’s no longer necessary to cut it open. The AC100-PRO is also available in 160ml, 360ml, 410ml + 10ml and 825ml cartridges that fit in both the standard and Powers cartridge guns. The AC100-PRO 410ml + 10ml EASY-PUMP has an innovative cartridge design and the simplified thorough mixing ensures improved processability. The three outlets for hardener result in reduced pressing out resistance for more comfort and improved processability in cold conditions. AC100-PRO is styrene free, styrol free and odour free.
INDEX launches
new download area INDEX Fixing Systems has launched a new download area on its website. The new area, which is accessible from the home page, offers users every single piece of documentation that INDEX Fixing Systems has about its products in a quick, simple way.
T
he download area’s searching system is the same as the one for the rest of the website, and sorts documents based on the product to which they are associated. It offers two possible searches: directly by reference or based on the family group to which the product belongs.
The documentation can be downloaded directly by clicking on the icons resulting from the search. INDEX Fixing Systems’ technical library has three types of technical documents: Technical Data Sheets, Material Safety Data Sheets and Accreditation System Data Sheets. Each document is associated with its corresponding product, and includes the features and specifications that are not usually shown in commercial catalogues. In addition, the download area provides access to other documents, such as specific monographs or commercial vouchers of complete product families. Finally, this technical section also includes a direct link to the download area of INDEX proprietary software - INDEXsoft Cal, for the calculation of anchors required for an installation, and INDEXsoft Mor, for calculating chemical mortar cartridges needed for an installation. “This documentation was already available to all users of the website
through the specific section of each product, in the documentation tab, but the new download area not only performs a direct search for documentation, but also allows a global view of it at product family level.”
