Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document outlines the development and features of FILCOTEN®, a drainage system material that merges the properties of cement and resin-bonded cements. It highlights the innovation in creating a lightweight, stable, and environmentally friendly material.
Material Development
FILCOTEN® was created to overcome the limitations of traditional materials like concrete, polymer concrete, steel, and plastic, which were often too heavy, sensitive, or not eco-friendly. The material combines the stability of concrete with the lightness of resin-bonded cements.
Sustainability
FILCOTEN® is designed to be environmentally neutral, from production to recycling. It is 100% recyclable and free from harmful chemicals, ensuring no negative impact on humans or nature. The production process relies heavily on renewable energy sources such as water and wind power.
Technical Specifications
FILCOTEN® channels are up to 70% lighter than conventional concrete channels, reducing transport costs and CO2 emissions. They are resistant to temperature changes, frost, and UV rays, ensuring a long service life. The material has high compressive strength (90 N/mm²) and is non-flammable, classified as A1 non-combustible.
Design and Installation
The channels feature a smooth inner surface for optimal flow and self-cleaning, and a textured outer surface for strong cohesion with concrete beds. FILCOTEN® light is suitable for various applications, including landscaping and urban spaces, and is available in different sizes and load classes.
Accessories and Components
The document lists various accessories like gratings, slot tops, and sump units, detailing their materials, dimensions, and load classes. These components are designed for easy installation and maintenance, with features like locking clips and odour traps.
Conclusion
FILCOTEN® represents a significant advancement in drainage systems, offering a sustainable, durable, and efficient solution for modern construction needs.
Overview
The document provides detailed specifications and installation instructions for FILCOTEN® tec and pro channel systems, focusing on their components, installation procedures, and applications. It includes information on odour traps, sediment buckets, and various grating options.
Specifications
  • Odour Traps: Made of PVC bends, suitable for sump units with outlets DN 150/200. Installation involves inserting the trap from the inside and connecting it with the sewage pipe.
  • Channel Systems: FILCOTEN® tec and pro channels are available in nominal widths of 100, 150, and 200, with load classes up to C 250 and E 600, respectively. They feature smooth surfaces for optimal flow and self-cleaning, anchoring ribs for secure bonding, and various rail options.
  • Gratings: Available in mesh, slotted, perforated, and ductile iron designs, with load classes ranging from A 15 to C 250. The fiX self-locking system ensures secure installation.
Installation Procedures
  • Odour Trap Installation: Consists of three parts, with the outlet pipe inserted into the outlet opening from below before installation.
  • Channel Installation: Channels can be installed with vertical outlets, and the fiX connection system allows for quick and secure grating attachment.
Applications
  • FILCOTEN® tec: Suitable for pedestrian areas, parks, sports facilities, and car parks.
  • FILCOTEN® pro: Ideal for commercial areas, factories, storage facilities, and public spaces like train stations and residential complexes.
Key Features
  • Safety and Security: The fiX connection system provides a four-point quick-release safety device, and anti-vandalism locking devices are available.
  • Environmental Resistance: Gratings are corrosion-resistant, UV, frost, and heat resistant, and fully recyclable.
  • Innovative Design: The use of FEM analysis ensures stability and optimal load-bearing capacity.
Specifications
The document provides detailed specifications for various FILCOTEN® pro 300 channel systems, including dimensions, weight, and material composition. The channels are designed with cast iron edges and are available in different heights and weights, suitable for various load classes as per EN standards.
Procedures
Installation guidelines emphasize the importance of adhering to EN 1433 standards and local requirements. The document outlines the need for proper sealing, alignment, and securing of grates using locking devices. It also highlights the necessity of considering horizontal forces and ensuring adjacent surfaces are slightly elevated to prevent mechanical damage.
Standards and Norms
The channels are compliant with load classes ranging from A 15 kN to E 600 kN, with specific concrete quality requirements according to Ö-Norm B4710-1. The document stresses the importance of using appropriate materials and installation techniques to meet these standards.
Recommendations
For areas exposed to chemical attacks, the use of stainless steel edges or channels is recommended. The document advises against using drainage channels across motorways and highlights the benefits of the FILCOTEN® green system for environmental protection.
Key Features of FILCOTEN® Green
The FILCOTEN® green system is designed to filter organic and inorganic impurities from rainwater, using a multi-layer substrate technology. It offers sustainable protection for groundwater, reduces pollutant loads, and is resilient up to class E 600 kN. The system is easy to maintain and has a service life of up to 20 years.
Accessories and Components
The document lists various accessories such as sump units, sediment buckets, odour traps, and end caps, along with their materials and weights. It also details the grating options available, including mesh and ductile iron bar gratings, with specifications on dimensions, load classes, and inlet cross-sections.
Installation Examples
Examples provided include the installation of FILCOTEN light and tec/pro channels, highlighting the load classes and specific installation considerations for each type.

What do you do when a material doesn‘t have the desired properties? – You develop the technology to adapt it. – For decades, drainage systems have been manufactured from concrete, polymer concrete, steel or plastic, and none of the materials was ever able to meet our high requirements. They were either too heavy, too sensitive or not sufficiently environmentally friendly. But after reading a specialist magazine in 2002, Friedrich Graspointner announced: „Our dream of both light and stable concrete channels can become a reality!“ After that, we were the only representative of our industry to invest...

Innovation without sustainability is not innovation. Our products are in direct contact with the earth‘s water cycle. We have been asking ourselves the question of how advancement and sustainability can be combined for many years. We therefore set one additional goal when developing FILCOTEN®: „It should be really environmentally friendly.“ We are very proud of the fact that we were very much able to achieve this. FILCOTEN® is completely neutral for the environment from the manufacture through to full recycling, and does not have any negative effects on humans or nature. Our energy mix also makes...

Strong but gentle to the environment: Impact strength and environment-friendliness are just two of the many features which make FILCOTEN® unique. The material combines the positive features of stable concrete channels with the construction of resin-bonded cements (light construction), and years after its introduction onto the market it is still unrivalled. FILCOTEN® complies with the EN 1433 standard. Temperature, frost and UV-resistant Since FILCOTEN® channels are made of cement-bonded fibre composites, they react to changes in temperature in the same way as the surrounding concrete bedding....

Adapted surface properties High compressive strength The particularly flat inner surface of FILCOTEN® channels achieves the best flow characteristics and a high self-cleaning effect. The textured outer surface ensures perfect cohesion with the concrete bed. The cement-bonded material with a high proportion of fibres enables thin-walled channels with particularly high compressive strength. FILCOTEN® channels are therefore lighter yet highly resilient.

FILCOTEN® slot tops Slot tops are particularly suitable for architecturally challenging surfaces in which the design is just as important as the function. The narrow slot width of 18 mm means that they can be perfectly fitted into the alignment of slots on the surface. During the entire period of construction, the installation slot protection should remain in the slot top as this prevents deformation or contamination of the system. The maintenance units are integrated into the channel thread. This does not damage the optics of the thread profile. The recessed cover of the maintenance unit can...
