Februar 2011:  Recognition of responsibility Alfix is being recognised for an active approach to green production and work environment. At the TUN BYG 2012 construction trade fair, a nominating committee consisting of industry experts has nominated Alfix for the coveted Environmental Award. The guiding principle for our green initiatives is an environment and work environment strategy. Alfix assumes responsibility, e.g. by using sustainable fillers in several products, recycling cleaning agents in our production and focusing on improving the work environment for our employees, customers and end users in our product work. Please visit us at the TUN BYG trade fair in Fredericia on 13-16 March, stand no. D 6320. Read more about the Alfix strategy here. |
| August 2011: New DuraPuds product  The flexible fibre render – Alfix DuraPuds 810 – has now been added to Alfix’ new popular render range. DuraPuds 810 is used as a base and reinforcing render on critical substrates requiring special solutions. DuraPuds 810 is ideal to cover cracks thanks to its reliable adhesion and flexibility which reduce the risk of crack formation. DuraPuds 810 is suited for rendering facade insulation followed by either a finishing render or another top coat. Read more. New name for white tile adhesive  Our well-know Alfix tile adhesive, Universalfix, has been renamed ‘Letfix Universal’. The new name also involves new packaging as well as significant optimisation of the product to make Letfix Universal more flexible and easier to work with than its predecessor. Like Univeralfix, the new tile adhesive is white and available in light blue bags. Letfix Universal is used to fix and lay ceramic tiles, quarry tiles, mosaics, natural stones, large-sized tiles and fully vitrified tiles. The tile adhesive is also suited for fixing insulation plates. Read more. |

October 2010:
Convenient/Smooth renders from Alfix
Alfix introduces a new product range of renders: Alfix DuraPuds.
Allan Nielsen, Technical Manager of Alfix, explains: "The advantage of the DuraPuds products is that they all feature the same reliable, well-known properties as our tile adhesives: extremely strong adhesion to substrates”.
This is also the opinion of professional bricklayers who have already used DuraPuds. "The feedback on our renders has been extremely positive and that’s a good start for our new Alfix product range," Allan Nielsen says.
With DuraPuds, the bricklayer now has a convenient everyday tool for creating beautiful, long lasting results. Initially, the new Alfix family consists of the products DuraPuds 710 – a fibre-reinforced bonding key and thin render, and DuraPuds 703 – a through coloured cementious render.
DuraPuds 710 is suitable not only as a base coat but also serves as finishing render on facades, with its slightly rustic texture in a natural cement grey colour. Alternatively, the surface can be painted. If a more delicate texture is desired, DuraPuds 703 is ideal as the finishing coat. DuraPuds 703 is available in a standard cement grey as well as two through coloured versions: white and pale grey.
The excellent workability and elastic consistency of the products during application saves both the professional craftsman and the customer money thanks to reduced waste levels compared to the levels typically expected. Finally, Allan Nielsen guarantees the bricklayer a long open time when working with DuraPuds – a feature that makes high-strength, convenient and thorough rendering possible. This is why the product is called DuraPuds. ”Dura” is short for durability.

September 2010
Alfix introduces the first Danish dust-reduced tile adhesive: Letfix extra - Less Dust.
Less Dust is a dust-reduced tile adhesive featuring the same excellent properties as our popular Letfix extra – light-weight product, high spread rate and flexible to work with.
The minimum amount of dust generated when pouring powder out of the Less Dust bag not only improves the working environment for the user but also reduces the time required to remove the remaining dust with a broom or vacuum-cleaner.
Two unique product advantages:
• Improved and healthier working environment
• Improved work efficiency
The new dust-reduced tile adhesive has a green label on the front and on the bottom of the well-known light blue bags.
The original Letfix extra is of course still available.
