1. TEST PARAMETERS
Fischer Fixings have been working alongside with STARKEN to discover what type of fixing and
what kind of load would be suitable for STARKEN AAC Blocks. The units are manufactured in a
variety of sizes, but always with the minimum compressive strength classification of either S3
(compressive strength of 3 MPa) or S5 (compressive strength of 5 MPa). For the purpose of this
testing, test block of size 600x200x100mm and 600x200x150mm were selected as base material.
Fischer introduces 3 types of fixing namely:

 SX – Fischer plug
 UX – Fischer Universal Plug
 FUR – Fischer Universal Frame Fixing
 FIS VT 380 C – fischer Injection Mortar
All the fixings were tested in the centre of the STARKEN AAC block, each fixing is installed at
equal spacing.
The test results for all the fixings tested show a good variation in ultimate loads. This allows the
engineer/architect/end user to have a broad range of anchor to choose from depending on both
function and load performance.
The test were carried out on 27 February 2014 at: Starken AAC Sdn Bhd (Factory)
Plot 6, Jalan Bunga Azalea ½,
Kawasan Industri Jalan Bunga Azalea,
48200, Serendah, Selangor Darul Ehsan,
Malaysia.
All tests were carried out using a Hydrajaws calibrated tensile tester with 0-25kN digital gauge, in
conjunction with aluminium 150mm load spreading bridge and M8 and M10 open ended test
adapters.

Fischer Nylon Wall Plug SX
Material : Nylon (polyamide 6) Metal screw grade 5.8
Range : SX4 to SX16
Tested range : SX 8 x 40, SX 10 x 50
Description
The Fischer SX plug has four fold nylon plug expansion which form locks with the substrate.
This action guarantees maximum load bearing characteristics. The area of application ranges
from solid materials through to hollow perforated materials.

Fischer Nylon Universal Plug UX
Range : UX5 to UX10
Tested range : UX 8 x 50 and UX 10 x 60
Description
The Fischer UX plug has a unique features on its universal application. It expands in
solid materials, such as concrete and lightweight block, reliable knot formation in all cavities.
Its side saw-tooth prevents the plug from spinning inside the hole and the collar prevents it
from slipping into the drill hole.

Fischer Universal Nylon Frame Fixing FUR
Range : FUR 8 to FUR 14
Tested range : FUR 8 x 100 and FUR 10 x 100
Description
The revolutionary design of the new Fischer

universal frame fixing is ideal for AAC block.
Thanks to its asymmetrical close set teeth
in the expansion zone, the FUR imparts
even expansion all along the drill hole,
therefore reducing stress concentrations
that would normally damage the soft substrate.

FIS VT 380 C Fischer injection mortar system
Material: Resin: Vinylester

Rod: M10 Zinc plated grade 5.8
Sleeve: Plastic frame with flexible nylon netting
Range: M8 - M30
Tested range: FIS VT M 8 and FIS VT M 10
Description
The Fischer FIS VT injection anchor contains a styrene-free, quick setting, high quality
Vinylester injection mortar, which is characterised by its universal suitability for
many applications. In AAC block, a bespoke drill bit is used to create a conical
hole. A centering sleeve is then used to ensure that all 3 thread sizes remain in the
middle of the hole. When fully cured this resin produces a form type locking allowing
maximum load bearing capacity while keeping the fixings stress free so no damage
is done to the block during installation.
