Mapei Mapefix PE SF Chemical Anchor For Heavy Loads 300ML

Description 
• Mapefix PE 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 with a clean, new one.
• Mapefix PE SF does not contain styrene which makes it suitable for use in areas with poor ventilation and, because it has limited shrinkage, it is also suitable for anchors with small circular crests.
• Mapefix PE SF is a chemical anchor made from a mixture of styrene-free resins, suitable for application on solid and perforated building materials, such as:
   - non-cracked concrete;
   - lightweight concrete;
   - cellular concrete;
   - masonry;
   - bricks;
   - stone.
• Mapefix PE SF is applied in holes made with a drill or hammer drill. We recommend using only a drill on perforated substrates.
• Mapefix PE SF is certified according to ETA European Standards option 7 (anchors in concrete in tension zones) and ETAG 029 (anchors in solid, semi-solid and perforated masonry). The Mapefix PE 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.

Features
• High Bonding Strength: Designed for strong adhesion, Mapefix PE SF is formulated to provide a high bond strength, ideal for structural applications in both heavy and light construction.
• Versatility in Application: Suitable for a wide range of base materials including concrete, stone, and solid and hollow brick. It works well for anchoring threaded rods and rebar.
• Styrene-Free: Environmentally friendly, Mapefix PE SF is styrene-free, making it a safer option for both indoor and outdoor applications without releasing harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
• Fast Curing Time: Mapefix PE SF has a rapid curing process, allowing quicker completion of installations. The curing time may vary depending on ambient temperature but typically reaches full strength within 24 hours.
• Resistance to Chemicals and Moisture: Once fully cured, Mapefix PE SF offers high resistance to various chemicals and is durable in both dry and wet environments, enhancing longevity and stability.
• Suitable for Overhead Applications: With its non-sag consistency, it can be used for overhead applications without concern for slippage, making it versatile for multiple anchoring positions.
• Easy Application and Handling: Available in cartridges compatible with standard dispensers, making it user-friendly for precise, controlled application.
• Temperature Resistant: The product maintains its bonding performance across a wide temperature range, ensuring durability in diverse climate conditions.

Where To Use
Mapefix PE SF is an adhesive for chemical anchoring metal bars in holes made in building materials. It is a two-component, styrene-free product made from a mixture of polyester resins. It has been specifically developed for chemically anchoring steel and zinc-plated steel threaded and deformed bars, which transmit light loads, to solid and perforated substrates such as non-cracked concrete, heavyweight concrete, stone and mixed masonry.
It is also an ideal solution for anchoring close to edges or when there is a limited pitch between each anchor, due to no stress being generated as with conventional mechanical expansion fasteners.
Mapefix PE SF is recommended for anchoring lightweight elements in internal and external substrates with a horizontal, vertical, inclined or overhead axis, and is particularly recommended for anchors in perforated substrates. It may also be used for anchors in damp substrate, and in substrates at temperatures down to -5°C.
Mapefix PE SF is recommended for anchoring elements in place, such as:
▪ plant equipment;
▪ sanitary fittings;
▪ aerials;
▪ signs;
▪ window and door fittings

Some application examples
▪ Anchoring Structural Steel Elements
   - Application: It’s often used to fix structural components like steel beams, brackets, and railings into concrete.
   - Example: Installing steel columns in concrete foundations for warehouses or other industrial structures.
▪ Fixing Mechanical Systems in Concrete
   - Application: Mechanical anchors such as bolts, dowels, and threaded rods can be securely fixed into concrete using Mapefix PE SF.
   - Example: Installing HVAC systems, pipe supports, or electrical conduits in buildings where strong, reliable anchoring is needed.
▪ Balustrades and Handrails
   - Application: Used to anchor handrails and balustrades into concrete or masonry, making them sturdy and durable.
   - Example: Securing balustrades on balconies, staircases, or terraces in commercial and residential buildings.
▪ Securing Safety and Road Equipment
   - Application: It’s useful for mounting signs, barriers, guardrails, or bollards in areas where safety and traffic management are essential.
   - Example: Installing guardrails along a highway or bollards at parking lots to control vehicle movement.
▪ Seismic Retrofitting
   - Application: Mapefix PE SF can be used for strengthening and upgrading the anchoring of structures, especially in areas prone to seismic activity.
   - Example: Reinforcing existing concrete columns or walls with new steel connectors in earthquake-prone regions.
▪ Facade and Cladding Fixing
   - Application: For securing heavy facade elements, stone, or masonry cladding on buildings.
   - Example: Attaching stone veneer panels or architectural facade elements on high-rise buildings.
▪ Heavy Machinery Installation
   - Application: Fixing base plates and anchoring bolts for industrial equipment to ensure stability.
   - Example: Installing heavy-duty machines like CNC equipment or hydraulic presses in manufacturing plants.
▪ Staircase and Fence Post Installation
   - Application: Anchoring support posts or railings for exterior structures.
   - Example: Setting fence posts in concrete or installing metal stair railings in residential or commercial buildings.

Recommendations 
▪ Do not apply to dusty or crumbling surfaces.
▪ For use on damp or wet substrates, please contact the MAPEI Technical Services Department.
▪ Do not use on surfaces with traces of oil, grease and stripping compound otherwise, the bond may be compromised.
▪ Do not apply if the temperature is lower than -5°C. If used on natural stone, check if it impregnates into the stone.
▪ Do not apply loads until it has completely hardened (Tcure).
▪ Do not use the product in holes made with a diamond-tipped bit (cored holes).
▪ Do not use for anchors in tension zones.

▪ Technical Data Sheet (TDS).
