An ideal solution for anchoring close to edges or when there is a limited pitch between each anchor, in that there is no stress generated as with conventional mechanical expansion fasteners.

The epoxy formulate of Mapefix EP 385 gives the resin extended workability time (see Table 1 in the data sheet) which makes it particularly suitable for anchors in areas at high temperatures or where loads are not constant. Mapefix EP 385 is recommended for all types of anchor with a horizontal, vertical, inclined or overhead axis and in tension or compressed zones, which are subjected to static, dynamic and seismic loads.

Mapefix EP 385 may also be used for immersed anchors which are permanently damp, in marine and industrial environments and in areas subjected to chemical aggression. The product may be applied at temperatures between 5°C and 40°C, including on damp or wet substrates and in holes immersed under water. Mapefix EP 385 may be applied in both smooth and rough holes and in holes which have been cored or made with a hammer drill, and may be used for anchors with both small or large crowns.

Features & Benefits

• The 385ml cartridge may be used by inserting it into a special extrusion gun for bi-axial cartridges
• If only part of the cartridge is used, the remaining product may be used, even after a number of days, by replacing the original static mixer (clogged by hardened resin) with a new one
• Hardly shrink when setting - ideal for filling large gaps and for circular crowns
• Compatible with a large number of building materials, such as:
• Concrete in tension and compressed zones
• Lightweight concrete
• Cellular concrete
• Elements made from calcium silicate
• Masonry, stone, rock and bricks
• Solid and perforated substrates
• Wood
• Stone
• Certified fire resistant according ETA 1 European standards, option 1 (anchors in concrete in tension or compression zones), ETA option REBAR (anchors in supplementary holes), ETA option CORE DRILL (anchors in core-drilled holes), ETA seismic performance (anchors in C1 and C2 seismic zones)

Recommendations & Limitations

• Do not apply on dusty or crumbling surfaces
• Do not use on surfaces with traces of oil, grease and form-release compound, adhesion may be compromised or reduced
• Do not apply if the air temperature or if the temperature of the substrate are lower than 5°C
• Do not apply loads until it has completely hardened (see Table 1 in data sheet)
