Sormat updates ITH-Pe injection resin 23 August 2016

Finnish-based Sormat Oy has introduced an updated version of the versatile polyester-based injection resin – ITH-Pe – which now has a European Technical Assessment (ETA — 16/0059) for fixing in masonry structures.

In addition to masonry the approval also covers so-called blockwork that consists of blocks made of sand-lime, autoclaved aerated concrete and light expanded clay aggregate.
This thoroughly approved resin also has ETA Option 7 approval for non-cracked concrete (ETA — 15/0220). Sormat recommends that customers read the new ETA document, as it offers designers a vast and clearly presented package of useful information about the performance of ITH-Pe injection resin in different base materials. The specific fixing base materials used in the ETA are listed in the approval document and it also includes the steel bolt grades of 4.6, 4.8, 5.6, 5.8 and 8.8.
Sormat adds: “Engineers and builders now have even more options in determining and selecting the threaded rods or studs to be used with chemical anchors.”
