A sustained effort lies behind
Alfix has for over 20 years continuously worked to implement responsible measures. A sustained effort that has also led to a certification for the global goals, which according to Anders B. Toft is of great importance for Alfix's future development:

"One and a half years ago, we were certified for the global goals by Bureau Veritas. The certification compels us to adhere to our strategically chosen global goals and sub-goals. And to continuously ensure progress in the chosen areas of effort. We cannot just settle for doing the same as we did yesterday or last year – for if we stand still, we go backwards in terms of the points we achieve in connection with the global goals certification."

Meet Torben Zederkof, who joined Alfix as head of the technical department on 1 December.

A qualified mason with years of experience from similar positions, Torben brings a solid base of professional expertise and experience to his new role. His decision to join the Alfix team was largely founded on the opportunity to work with the responsible transition in the construction industry.

Why did you accept the offer of a position at Alfix?
I’m impressed with Alfix’s 60-year history of working with high-quality products and professional systems for the construction industry. In addition, I find the company’s responsible profile and dedication to employee well-being highly attractive. As I see it, all these aspects form a stamp of quality for the confidence Alfix strives to engender in customers, partners and employees alike.

The combination of professional technical focus and the opportunity to take responsibility for the day-to-day management of a technical department staffed by experienced and highly competent colleagues tipped the balance and led me to accept the position.

What tasks will you be handling in the technical team?
Alfix’s technical department serves as a backup for our sales consultants. We are a dynamic team and we genuinely enjoy working together to tackle challenging assignments and provide the best possible advice. We’re happy to pull on our work clothes, test the different products and devote ourselves to finding solutions to challenges for our customers, who have confidence in the service – and, in particular, the responsibility and workmanship – that Alfix is rightly famous for delivering.

Why did you choose Torben for the job?
Frank Pingel, Development Manager, fields this question:
Torben’s broad palette of skills and service-minded approach makes him a valuable colleague and the ideal day-to-day manager of our technical department. I’m convinced that Torben’s experience, background and dedication will make a positive contribution to the technical department and help Alfix stand even stronger in the industry.

This magnificent villa in Kolding, Denmark, features a host of beautiful details that stand as a testament to the dexterity and skill of the mason. The building has recently undergone comprehensive renovation inside and out.

So which product was used to repair the fine details and ensure they once again stand out clearly and beautifully? Alfix DuraPuds 650 rapid was chosen as the repair render because it can be used for repairs and levelling in layers up to 50 mm thick. At the same time, it hardens quickly and is ready for finishing work after just 3–4 hours.

In addition, Alfix DuraPuds 710 thin coat bonding mortar was used for the fine details and finishing work. It is a product than can generally be used as the substrate for finishing render and as a finished top layer.

Tile adhesive and grout in one
Alfix EpoxyFuge 20 is an acid-resistant tile adhesive and grout in a single product. It is ideal for both installing and grouting ceramic, mosaic and quarry tiles.

Benefits of the new grout
EpoxyFuge 20 closely resembles cement-based grout, which has a lighter consistency and is therefore easier and quicker to blend and work with than conventional epoxy grouts. It is precisely to obtain this benefit that we are now launching this new product. In addition, the new grout is easier for craftsmen to wash down, clean and finalise during installation than traditional epoxy grouts. It is ideal for joint widths of up to 20 mm without having to add the Epoxy Tix agent.

Other properties

• Can withstand high mechanical load
• For interior and exterior use
• Joint widths from 1–20 mm
• Smooth and easy to work with
• EC1 PLUS labelled (extremely low emissions with regard to interior climate)

Suggested uses for Alfix EpoxyFuge 20

• Swimming pools
• Food industry
• Chemical industry
• Workshops, car showrooms and car washes
• Terraces, stairs and balconies

It is usual to use an Alfix EpoxyFuge 1025 product as an expansion/elastic grout in such environments.

Coloured to match other grouts
Alfix EpoxyFuge 20 is available in titanium grey. The colour has been chosen to match one of Alfix’s cement-based, industrial grouts, IndustryFuge – CeraFill 18 (titanium grey), and the type of expansion/elastic grout that is recommended for use with Alfix EpoxyFuge 20: Alfix EpoxyFuge 1025.

Please note that the new EpoxyFuge 20 replaces the previous C2 Epoxy product, which has been discontinued.

Introduction to Alfix PlaneMix 90 Plus
Alfix PlaneMix 90 Plus is a low-carbon screeding mortar that can be worked up and rendered to create a bonded surface. It is ideal for levelling, smoothing and repairing subfloors – in wet rooms, for example, with subsequent tiling.

The mortar features excellent processing properties when rendering surfaces. It is designed for projects where speed and rapid strength development are not crucial factors.

Third product in the new Plus range
Alfix PlaneMix 90 Plus is the first screeding mortar in Alfix’s new Plus range. In Alfix terminology, “Plus” means greater environmental consideration in relation to comparable Alfix products, in that the composition of Plus products, and the choice of raw materials used in them, is designed to show the greatest possible consideration for the environment and OHAS. At the same time, these products retain the essential properties and strengths for which Alfix is well known.

As such, Alfix PlaneMix 90 Plus is the first dry mortar screeding product to feature the low-carbon cement (Futurecem™). In order to reduce carbon consumption even further, residual powder from Alfix production units has been used as filler in the product. To provide a specific example, reusing residual powder meant that the first production run of the new screeding mortar in mid-April 2023 saw the reuse of two big bags (1.5 tonnes) of residual powder that would otherwise have been used as road aggregate.

The new screeding mortar is EMICODE EC1 PLUS-certified, which documents a minimal impact on the indoor climate. The product is supplied in FSC®-labelled paper sacks (FSC® N003719) that feature a new type of moisture-barrier inner film made of 100% recycled plastic.

Please note that the other two products in the Plus range are the Swan-labelled tile adhesives Alfix ProFix Plus and Alfix LetFix Plus.

Obs, de andre to produkter i Plus-serien er de Svanemærkede flisekæbere, Alfix ProFix Plus and Alfix LetFix Plus
