The
new TXE fixing model for direct fixing on concrete is manufactured with
innovative BIMETAL technology, which offers high resistance to both corrosion and
wear during installation.
Firstly, the body of the fixing is manufactured with A4 stainless steel, giving it anti-corrosive properties, up to C5 levels of corrosion. Meanwhile, the tip of the fixing is manufactured in hardened carbon steel, with greater hardness and facilitating the installation and grip on the base material. The innovative production process allows the friction welding of the two materials.
Features of A4 stainless steel
- Coastal areas.
- Outdoor spaces with high industrial contamination.
- Areas near roads.
- Tropical and subtropical regions.
Resistance of the
steel
The
tip of the TXE is manufactured in hardened carbon steel, which allows it to
withstand wear on the tip and which makes installation easier
while providing the maximum performance.
The tip of the fixing has a key role during the installation. It is the area
that starts the threading of the fixing on the base material, generating strong
friction and wear. This is the reason that this fixing cannot be made
completely from A4 stainless steel, a material with a lower level of hardness
than carbon steel.
The blue colour of the tip identifies the area where the fusion of both materials
is produced.
Highest guarantees
The fixing has the most prestigious approvals:
- ETA 20/0046 approval for structural fixings in cracked concrete.
- CE certification.
- C1 Seismic approval, suitable for applications in areas with seismic risk.
- Fire Resistance approval, for installations exposed to high temperatures or at risk of suffering a fire.
Wide TH/TF rangeThe new TXE model is added to the range of TH/TF screws for concrete, a range made up of fixings with different heads (hexagonal, countersunk, panhead, etc.) and coverings (Atlantis or zinc-plated).
