Rokkon® R (FS)

Polyester resin based capsule for rock stabilisation

Rokkon® R (FS) resin capsules contain very high quality polyester resin and its catalyst in precisely measured quantities. The capsules are designed to be inserted into the drill holes for the purpose of mining or tunnelling. The rotating bolt during insertion, forces resin and catalyst to come in contact and thus ensuring homogeneous mixing of the catalyst and the resin. The homogenous mix fills the annular space between the bolt and the bore hole and holds the bolt firmly and permanently.

  • Controlled setting time
  • Permanent anchorage unaffected by vibration or by corrossive environment
  • Distributed anchorage - no localised high stresses, induced in bolted rock
  • Reliability: laboratory tested pre packed material, minimise complications like prolonged setting time, limited load bearing ability, etc.
  • Chemical & corrosion resistance - the cured polyester resin is resistant to fresh and salt water, oils, grease, petrol, salts etc.

Usage

Rokkon® R (FS) resin capsules are developed for stabilisation of strata in tunnels and mining applications. The basic purpose of strata reinforcement by Rokkon® R (FS) resin capsules is to prevent the freshly exposed rocks particularly overhead after each blast from collapsing. Rokkon® R (FS) resin capsules may be used for the purpose of both point anchorage and full column grouting.  

Advantages

  • Controlled setting time
  • Permanent anchorage unaffected by vibration or by corrossive environment

  • Reliability: laboratory tested pre packed material, minimise complications like prolonged setting time, limited load bearing ability, etc.
  • Chemical & corrosion resistance - the cured polyester resin is resistant to fresh and salt water, oils, grease, petrol, salts etc.

Product Details

Product Information

Chemical Base

Polyester resin

Shelf Life

6 months from date of production

Storage Conditions

Store properly in dry condition in undamaged and unopened original sealed packaging between 10 - 20°C away from direct sunlight. Storage at lower temperatures such as in cool rooms is highly recommended and will extend the shelf life. Stock rotation is strongly recommended. When using cool room storage the resin capsules should be allowed time to attain ambient temperature before use otherwise SPIN and HOLD TIMES will be extended.
