In issue 157 of the international Fastener + Fixing Magazine MKT is featured with a article highlighting the growing importance of mortar capsules in modern anchor technology.
The article focuses on a subject that has gained significant traction in recent years. Once considered a special solution, mortar capsules are increasingly becoming an integral part of contemporary anchoring systems. MKT recognized this potential early on and has continuously invested in research, development, and production. Today, mortar capsules represent one of the company’s fastest-growing product segments – especially with the VZ system, approved under European Technical Assessment (ETA – 20/0533).
The article stresses the practical advantages on site. Mortar capsules enable a clean, efficient, and straightforward installation process, as the exact amount of adhesive is pre-portioned within each capsule. This not only minimizes material waste but also ensures consistent and reliable performance. In addition, the system requires minimal equipment, making it both cost-effective and user-friendly.
The performance under demanding conditions is another important aspect. Mortar capsules can be used in all installation directions, including overhead applications, and short curing times allow resuming work quickly. This saves time, particularly in serial installations such as railings or racking systems.
The versatility of the VZ system is also emphasized in the article. It covers a wide range of applications, from standard application cases to projects with demanding requirements, including cracked concrete, seismic conditions, and fire exposure. Various material options and a broad installation temperature range ensure suitability for a variety of installation conditions.
The publication in Fastener + Fixing Magazine highlights the ongoing evolution of the mortar capsule market and underlines the importance of practical, high-performance solutions. At the same time, it demonstrates how MKT is actively shaping this development and responding to the needs of modern construction projects.
