The Supamix capsule's low mastic to catalyst ratio improves mixing consistency and installed bolt quality. Offers extended 6 month shelf life.
In 2008 Minova completed an extensive product development program focusing on improving the quality and reliability of installed resin bolts. All the proposed developments objectives were achieved culminating in the Lokset® Supamix® range of resin capsules.
The capsule is filled with a reinforced thixotropic polyester resin in one compartment and a catalysed mastic filler in the other, separated by a physical barrier. The rotation of the bolt during installation ruptures the capsule, shreds the skin and mixes the two components causing a chemical reaction and transforming the resin mastic into a solid anchor.

Two resin capsules joined and folded in half for packaging. A system developed to enable full encapsulated mechanised resin bolting, utilising the Quick‑Chem™ resin capsule insertion system. Lokset X2 range is available with any single or combination of Minova resin capsule mastics. Any capsule combination can be ordered and the individual Quick-Chem caps are supplied in the boxes.
The capsule is filled with a reinforced thixotropic polyester resin in one compartment and a catalysed mastic filler in the other, separated by a physical barrier. The rotation of the bolt during installation ruptures the capsule, shreds the skin and mixes the two components causing a chemical reaction and transforming the resin mastic into a solid anchor.
The Quick‑Chem insertion system is used to remotely install resin capsules into boreholes for rock bolting. The system aids mechanical installation of resin capsules where hand installation is not practical.
Quick-Chem consists of a retaining cap (attached to the resin capsule) and an insertion tube. The tubes are fitted into the Jumbo drifter, and used to safely insert resin capsules undamaged to the back of each borehole.
