The FIXE PLX lower off with 10mm lugs and ring is made of duplex steel and is therefore ideal for bolting near the sea.
This is because duplex is a special alloy with very high corrosion resistance. In addition, Duplex steel / PLX STEEL has a very high resistance to stress corrosion cracking. At Fixe Climbing, duplex steel has been given the proper name PLX steel.
Due to the high quality, PLX drilling materials can also be used anywhere in the Alpine region! On the one hand, this makes sense in the vicinity of industrial areas, for example, but also wherever you want to use high-quality steel. This massively increases the service life. You can find more information in our technical article“Steel qualities at expansion bolt and glue in bolt“.
We also stock the matching PLX expansion bolt or PLX bolt hanger and PLX glue in bolt.

Suitable expansion bolt for the Fixe PLX lower off with 10mm lugs and ring
The matching expansion bolt for the PLX expansion bolt are the FIXE 10mm PLX expansion bolt. These are made of the same highly corrosion-resistant duplex steel.
Please note the correct torque at expansion bolt. The fixed PLX expansion bolt 10mm has a recommendation of 20Nm!
The combination with zinc plated bolt hanger or normal stainless steel bolt hanger (A4 steel) must be avoided at all costs! This creates galvanic corrosion. Not familiar with this yet? Then read our lead article “Galvanic corrosion at expansion bolt” to expand your knowledge.
Suitable for bolting near the sea!
The FIXE PLX lower off with 10 mm lugs and ring is ideal for bolting near the sea. The duplex steel meets the necessary corrosion class to withstand extreme chemical conditions in the medium to long term.
The following products are also perfect for bolting near the sea:
- Titanium drilling materials
- HCR steel drilling materials
- injection mortar for use near the sea
