Description:
The FAST FIX FX-EP5 Pure Epoxy Chemical Anchor is a high-performance, solvent-free, two-component epoxy injection anchoring system designed for heavy-duty fastening, reinforcing bar installation and demanding structural anchoring applications.
Supplied in a 585ml injection cartridge, FX-EP5 uses a 3:1 mixing ratio by volume and provides a high-load chemical anchoring solution for threaded rods, reinforcing bars, bolts and other suitable fastening systems.
The manufacturer identifies the product as ETA Option 7 approved, with applications including non-cracked concrete and installation in wet, dry and flooded drilled holes, subject to the approved installation conditions.
Its pure epoxy formulation is styrene-free, low-odor and non-sag, allowing use in suitable overhead and vertical anchoring applications when the fastening elements are properly supported during curing.
FAST FIX FX-EP5 is suitable for structural reinforcement work, mechanical and electrical support installations, metalwork and carpentry applications such as fixing handrails, railings, frames and support structures.
According to the manufacturer’s technical data, the cured material provides a compressive strength of 95.8 N/mm², flexural strength of 39.5 N/mm² and tensile strength of 13.8 N/mm² under the specified laboratory test methods.
The product supports installation into suitable concrete, masonry, natural stone and solid rock substrates. Other applications must be evaluated according to the substrate, fixing arrangement and applicable installation requirements.
Designed for professional contractors, civil engineering works, industrial maintenance and construction projects, the FAST FIX FX-EP5 585ml Pure Epoxy Anchor provides a practical solution for demanding chemical anchoring applications.
