Tecfi SpA recently launched its new ZZE-Handyplug®, a HDPE multipurpose anchor for ETICS, which has achieved an ETA for a wide spread of base materials (a, b, c, d and e).
ZZE-Handyplug® provides many benefits to the user including simple and quick hammer set installation, anchorage without thermal bridge, reduced embedment depth, wide range in terms of thicknesses of fixture, and stiffness of the nail during the installation thanks to its ribbed neck and its thick head.
In addition to the ZZE-Handyplug, Tecfi’s research and development department has been studying seismic topics. As a result, in April this year, the company achieved the C2 Performance Category for the installation in high seismic hazard zones of its HXE-Concreto® concrete screws.
The C2 Performance Category is now available on diameter 16mm and Tecfi says will soon be extended to diameters 10mm and 12mm. It comes in addition to two other ranges of anchors that received the C2 Performance Category in 2014 – AJE wedge anchors and SWE dual component epoxy resin. Tecfi points out its HVE-Rock® heavy-duty anchor currently has C1 Performance Category, and will soon have C2.
2015 also saw Tecfi open its new 7,000m² production facility, which has enabled the company to enhance its production capacity and invest in new high performing machinery to complement its already well equipped facility.
