Fastener and fixing manufacturer CELO has launched a new Insulation plug, capable of fastening to mineral wool and Heraklith boards.
The new product, IPL 90, is designed for time-saving installation, eliminating the need for pre-drilling thanks to its sharp drilling tip, which can reliably penetrate hard ETICS plaster up to 7 mm thick.
With a 90 mm length, it provides secure anchoring in mineral wool boards, offering better hold than shorter plug variants. Its innovative thread geometry and slim core allow for easy insertion through pre-punched holes in sheet metal profiles, ensuring a smooth and efficient installation process.
The fastener is also energy-efficient, as it enables direct fastening in insulation without creating thermal bridges, helping to maintain insulation performance. Featuring a 25 mm head diameter and a TX40 drive, it is ideally suited for this type of application, ensuring a strong and stable hold.
Made from high-quality nylon, the IPL 90 is resistant to ageing and weather conditions, making it suitable for long-term outdoor use. Additionally, its semi-transparent colour gives it a discreet appearance, and it can be painted to match the surrounding surface for a seamless finish.
Moreover, the IPL 90 is designed to handle two particularly challenging fastening applications with ease.
Firstly, it is ideal for securing 10 mm or 12 mm thick Heraklith panels to ceiling panels made of mineral wool or EPS, providing a reliable and stable hold.
Secondly, it is well-suited for attaching sheet metal profiles with 18 mm clearance holes to ceiling panels composed of mineral wool or expanded polystyrene (EPS), ensuring a secure and precise installation.
