Within 2023 fischer Belgium is offering a completely new range of chemical mortar.
Starting with the introduction of the first universal injection mortar with an evaluated service life (ETA) of 100 years in concrete with the FIS V Plus. Its system components offer a wide range of applications. Among these is the stand-off installation system Thermax 12 and 16 to install fastenings through external thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS) into the load-bearing base practically without thermal bridges.
FIS V Zero is another innovation with a special, hazard-label-free formula that guarantees the protection of people and planet. fischer used a patented, new curing system for the first time with the FIS V Zero innovation in order to achieve this. No peroxides are used during this process, meaning there is no need for any hazard labels. Combined with the use of non-hazardous raw materials, this mechanism means that the FIS V Zero does not require hazard labels even under the strict stipulations of the EU’s current CLP chemical regulation. As a result, users can process the injection mortar without protective measures and safety equipment. Used cartridges can be disposed of in the usual household waste, avoiding the costly disposal of hazardous waste. Unlike many other injection mortars, our FIS V Zero does not require separate packaging and shipping, which saves packaging materials and reduces transport.
