Mapefix VE SF 300

Mapefix VE SF is an adhesive for chemically anchoring metal bars in holes made in building materials. It is a two-component, styrene-free product made from a mixture of synthetic resins. It is specifically formulated for anchoring zinc-plated threaded and deformed steel bars which transmit structural loads in solid and perforated substrates such as non-cracked concrete, lightweight concrete, stone, wood, bricks and mixed masonry. Specific also for anchoring metal bars in tension and compression zones in cracked and noncracked concrete, including in areas at risk of seismic activity.
It is also an ideal solution for anchoring close to edges or when there is a limited space between each anchor, as no stress generated as with conventional mechanical expansion fasteners.

Mapefix VE SF is recommended for immersed anchors which are permanently damp, in marine and industrial environments subjected to chemical aggression, areas where the temperature is as low as -10°C when the product is applied and for anchors with a horizontal, vertical, inclined or overhead axis; it may also be used on substrates which are damp or wet at the moment of application where there are high static or dynamic stresses.
Mapefix VE SF is recommended for anchoring elements in place, such as:
▪ strengthening rods in construction joints;
▪ immersed anchors and anchors in damp environments;
▪ anchors in marine and industrial environments;
▪ overhead crane and tram rails;
▪ plant and sanitary equipment;
▪ aerials and signs;
▪ pylons;
▪ safety barriers

Mapefix VE SF is a two-component chemical anchoring product, packaged in 300 and 420 ml cartridges with two separate compartments containing component A (resin) and component B (catalyser), at the correct mixing ratio in volume. The two components are mixed together when they are extruded via the static mixer supplied with the cartridge. The mixer is screwed to the end of the cartridge, and no preliminary mixing of the two components is required. 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 clean, new one. Mapefix VE SF does not contain styrene which makes it suitable for use in areas with poor ventilation and, due to its low shrinkage, it is also suitable for anchors with small circular crests.
Mapefix VE SF is a chemical anchor made from a mixture of styrene-free resins, suitable for application on a
wide range of solid and perforated building materials, such as:
▪ non-cracked concrete;
▪ lightweight concrete;
▪ cellular concrete;
▪ masonry;
▪ bricks;
▪ stone;
▪ wood.
Mapefix VE SF is applied to holes made with a drill or hammer drill. We recommend using only a drill on perforated substrates. Mapefix VE SF is certified according to the European Standards ETA option 1 (anchors in concrete in tension or compression zones), ETA rebar (supplementary reinforcement) and fire certification, ETA seismic performance C1 (in seismic zones).
The Mapefix VE SF 300 ml size cartridges may be used with conventional silicone extrusion guns for 50 mm diameter cartridges, as long as they are robust enough. The 420 ml cartridges need to be used with a special extrusion gun for 65 mm diameter cartridges.
