FB200

Minova FB200 is a low‑viscosity, high‑volume grout system for underground mining, delivering rapid placement, quick strength gain and remote pumping.

Product Benefits

Faster critical path: rapid placement and early strength reopen headings sooner
Flexible logistics (bags or bulk) streamline handling and storage underground
Lower exposure hours by pumping at safe standoffs over long distances
Consistent outcomes with defined water ratios and controlled gel windows
Reduced rework: yielding, non‑shrinking grout maintains contact and support

Sectors

Metal & Non-Metal Mining, Coal Mining

Applications

Cavity Filling, Backfilling, Consolidation, Gas & Ventilation

Product Details

FB200 is Minova’s low‑viscosity, high‑output grout family engineered for demanding underground work. FB200 typically runs at a 2:1 water‑to‑powder ratio with a four to eight minute gel, enabling rapid placement (up to ~10m³/h) and remote pumping to ~200m. FB200 Retarded extends gel time (≈10–20 minutes at 20°C) for longer lines or higher temperatures while retaining high volume output. For very long runs and surface‑to‑seam projects, FB200 Slow Set offers a 60–70 minute gel at 20°C and can be pumped to about 1000m. All variants yield to ground pressure, are non‑shrinking and low alkalinity, and are used for rockfill consolidation, recovery of falls, backfilling, pumpable chocks and explosion‑resistant ventilation seals.

Product Features

Low‑viscosity, high‑output grout for safer, faster mining

Low viscosity for deep penetration

FB200 penetrates tight rockfill and broken strata to consolidate voids and seal leakage paths for safer

High output cuts materials handling

Typical output ~15–22 × 20 kg bags per m³ (2:1), reducing underground transport and storage demands

Rapid placement and quick strength gain

Place up to ~10m³ per hour with early strength development to accelerate support and critical path tasks

Remote pumping from safer locations

Pump FB200 up to ~200m, FB200 Retarded to ~400m and Slow Set to ~1000m to keep crews safe

Configurable gel windows for control

FB200 gels ~4–8 min; FB200 Retarded ~10–20 min; Slow Set ~60–70 min @ 20°C match line length and temperature
