JCP, Owlett-Jaton’s speciality fixing division, has expanded its portfolio with over 30 new product lines, including new European Technical Assessments, demonstrating its commitment to the ever changing demands of the construction sector, as well as the needs of its customers.
JCP’s heavy-duty anchor portfolio now includes ETA certified (ETA – 20/0727) pan head bi-metal ankerbolts, drop-in anchors and lipped drop-in anchors, reassuring contractors about reliability and quality, particularly when safety and compliance are critical. The two new ranges of bright zinc plated drop-in anchors have been launched as a cost-effective alternative to the existing popular ETA drop-in anchor range, bringing the total number of options to eight – six of which are ETA certified.
A bi-metal masonry screw has also been added to the heavy-duty anchor range and is available in three sizes. The high-quality masonry screw speeds up installation time, enables thread cutting and avoids corrosion.
Along with the new range additions, two of the current ETA ankerbolt lines (ETA – 15/0040) have been extended, providing customers with a wider variety of size options. This brings the JCP range of ankerbolts to over 100 lines, with various head and finish options available.
The range of self-drilling screws has also grown significantly over the last three years, becoming a popular choice for customers. For example, a woodfix high-thread screw for timber in BZP has been introduced in five sizes and is ideal for fastening composite panels to wood. There is also a new fibre cement screw for timber, which offers an alternative to the existing fibre cement screws for steel. Finally, line extensions have been added to the range of metalfix wafer head self-drilling screws.
The chemical anchors range has also seen the introduction of an additional 410ml injection tool with improved features for the professional installer. As well as the injection tool, three new plastic coated fixing bands are now available and come in three colours – black, white and red – giving customers ten fixing band lines to select from.
