CarboThix

CarboThix is Minova’s pumpable, two‑component silicate resin for cable bolts and self‑drilling anchors, thickening instantly, curing fast and delivering full encapsulation even in wet ground.

Product Benefits

Shorter cycles and earlier re‑entry raise heading advance without compromising safety
Full encapsulation improves load transfer and mitigates corrosion along the bolt
Reliable performance in wet holes reduces rework and stabilises schedules
Temperature‑matched grades keep cure times predictable across seasons
Long‑distance pumping supports automation and reduces manual handling risk

Sectors

Metal & Non-Metal Mining, Coal Mining, Infrastructure

Applications

Bolting & Anchoring, Ground Consolidation

Product Details

CarboThix is Minova’s flagship thixotropic silicate injection resin for underground mining and tunnelling, engineered to raise safety and velocity in rock bolting. The two components mix at the point of application and thicken instantly, so the grout stays where you need it, fills fractures and cures quickly to deliver uniform load transfer and full encapsulation of the bolt. As a pumpable system, CarboThix supports long‑distance delivery—ideal for mechanised and automated bolting—while resisting dilution in wet holes to maintain consistent performance. Available in temperature‑matched grades—CarboThix Rapid for cooler ground, CarboThix Fast for temperate to warm ground, and CarboThix 2 / Standard for general use—it enables early loading in minutes rather than a day with cementitious systems. Designed to integrate with our UniPass hollow bolts, CarboThix helps you reduce cycle time, improve re‑entry and enhance corrosion protection across demanding ground conditions.

Product Features

Fast, thixotropic silicate resin for safer rock bolting

Thixotropic resin stays put, even in wet ground

Mix thickens instantly, reducing loss into fissures and ensuring reliable encapsulation in water‑bearing strata

Fast cure enables loading in minutes, not days

Compared with cementitious grouts, CarboThix allows early loading in minutes to accelerate advance and re‑entry

Temperature‑matched grades for every mine

Rapid typically for five to fifteen degrees Celsius; Fast for roughly fifteen to thirty degrees; Standard for general use

Long‑distance pumping for flexible logistics

Stable two‑component system can be pumped up to 500 m to reach headings and automate bolting

Consistent 1:1 mixing and grout quality

Dual‑component pumping with static mixer delivers uniform resin quality and dependable load transfer
