CARBOTHIX®

TWO COMPONENT. GROUTING RESIN.

Two component grouting resin for cable bolt anchoring and self drilling bolts. An instantly thickening, fast curing, two component silicate resin for high strength bonding of solid bolts and cable anchors. The final mixture thickens very quickly to form a tough, interpenetrating non porous elastic silicate. This minimises leakage from the bolt hole, displacing drilling water helping ensure full encapsulation.

Carbothix Fast has been designed especially for use with our range of UniPass dynamic and static rock bolts. Tested in Australian conditions, Carbothix Fast allows for improved rock bolting productivity.
