MAPEFIX EP 385/MAPEFIX EP 585

Pure epoxy, resin-based chemical anchor for structural loads

WHERE TO USE

Mapefix EP 385 and Mapefix EP 585 are adhesives for chemically anchoring metal bars in holes made in building materials. It is a two-component, solvent-free product made from pure epoxy resin. Available in 385 ml and 585 ml cartridges. It has been specifically developed for chemically anchoring steel and zinc-plated steel threaded and deformed bar, which transmit structural loads, to solid substrates such as concrete, lightweight concrete, stone, wood and compact masonry. Specific also for anchoring metal bars in tension and compression zones in cracked and non-cracked concrete, including in areas at risk of seismic activity.

It is 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 and Mapefix EP 585 gives the resin extended workability time (see Table 1) which makes it particularly suitable for anchors in areas at high temperatures or where loads are not constant. Mapefix EP 385 and Mapefix EP 585 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 and Mapefix EP 585 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 and Mapefix EP 585 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. Mapefix EP 385 and Mapefix EP 585 are recommended for anchoring elements in place, such as:

  • strengthening rods in construction joints;
  • immersed anchors and anchors in damp environments;
  • under water anchors;
  •  anchors in marine and industrial environments;
  • overhead crane and tram rails;
  • industrial motors;
  • aerials and signs;
  • pylons;
  • safety barriers;
  • highway guard-rails.

TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Mapefix EP 385 and Mapefix EP 585 are two-component chemical anchoring products, packaged in a 385 ml or 585 ml bi-axial cartridge with 2 separate compartments containing component A (resin) and component B (catalyser) at the correct mixing ratio of 3:1 in volume (3 parts in volume of resin, 1 part in volume of catalyser).
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. The 385-585 ml 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. Mapefix EP 385 and Mapefix EP 585 hardly shrink when they set which make ideal, therefore, for filling large gaps and for circular crowns. Mapefix EP 385 and Mapefix EP 585 are 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.

Mapefix EP 385 and Mapefix EP 585 are 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

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 Tcure (see Table 1).

PACKAGING

Boxes of 12 pieces (385 ml and 585 ml cartridges) with 12 static mixers with extension tube.

COLOURS AVAILABLE

Grey.

STORAGE

24 months in its original packaging at a temperature of between +5°C and +25°C.
