Metal & Non-Metal Mining

Applications

Ground control, Grouting

Product Details

Capcem™ Products are pre‑measured cementitious capsule grouts engineered for fast, efficient rock and roof bolting in mining and tunnelling. Each capsule’s water‑permeable skin ensures a controlled water‑to‑powder ratio: simply soak, install and bar‑in to form a thixotropic, non‑shrink grout that stays in the hole—even overhead—without run‑out. That means stable anchorage, less mess and no on‑site batching or mixers. Capcem variants address temperature and set‑time needs: Capcem™ 1/4 (Ultrafast) and Capcem 1/2 (Fast) for rock up to 45 °C; and Capcem 50 for warmer rock from 40 °C to 60 °C. Typical lab pull strengths on 16 mm deformed rebar reach up to 10.0 t at 28 days for Capcem 1/4, while Capcem 1/2 typifies up to 8.0 t; Capcem 50 is formulated for rapid strength development at elevated temperatures—helping crews bolt safely and return sooner. All Capcem grouts are chloride‑free to protect steel from corrosion, supplied in practical bag quantities and capsule sizes to suit standard boreholes and yield requirements.

Product Features

Capcem™ capsule grout for faster, safer rock bolting

Controlled water ratio; consistent grout every time

Semi‑permeable skins absorb the right amount of water for repeatable, high‑quality grout

No mixers required; simpler, quicker installation

Pre‑packed capsules eliminate on‑site batching and mixing equipment, reducing setup and maintenance

Thixotropic, no run‑out—even in overhead holes

The grout’s thixotropy prevents loss from overhead boreholes, improving encapsulation and cleanliness

Non‑shrink formulation for secure load transfer

Expansion agents counteract shrinkage to ensure effective contact between bar and grout

Chloride‑free chemistry to help resist corrosion

Rapid strength gain without chlorides supports long‑term protection of embedded steel
