Rokkon®-1
Cementitious capsule for rock stabilisation
Rokkon®-1 is available in sausage form enclosed in perforated plastic pouch. At the time of application, the capsule is put in water, allowing enough water to percolate in through the perforations to form a nonshrink, thixotropic cementitious grout. Special additives in the formulation ensure controlled expansion to stabilise the grout and control the water uptake to provide an optimum w/c ratio.
- Reliability : laboratory tested pre-packed materials remove all problems of controlling grout mixing underground thereby reducing any risk in constructing a fully column grouted bolt
- Non-shrink : controlled expansion counteracts shrinkage to provide effective contact with rock
- Chloride free : develops early strength without the use of chloride and makes it safe to use with embedded steel
Usage
Rokkon®-1 is used for grouting rock bolts for strata reinforcement in tunnelling and mining to reduce roof collapses.
Advantages
- Reliability : laboratory tested pre-packed materials remove all problems of controlling grout mixing underground thereby reducing any risk in constructing a fully column grouted bolt
- Non-shrink : controlled expansion counteracts shrinkage to provide effective contact with rock
- Chloride free : develops early strength without the use of chloride and makes it safe to use with embedded steel

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.
sage
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
- 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.
