Product Details
CarboThix is Minova’s flagship thixotropic silicate injection resin for underground mining and tunnelling, engineered to raise safety and efficiency of rock bolts installation. After mixing the components in the injection gun/adapter, resin begins to thicken rapidly, while still retaining its flowability. This makes the rock-bolt or rock-fissures injection process fully controllable, even when working overhead, without leaks or losses. CarboThix cures quickly and reaches strengths that allow the full potential of the anchoring elements to be used. CarboThix is ​​designed for 3-step manual installation as well as for fully automated cutting-edge 1-step installation technologies such as Unipass. CarboThix is not sensitive to the presence of water and is not water-dilutable. Its performance is the same in dry and wet environments. At the same time, the easily controlled 1:1 mixing ratio ensures constant properties.
The range includes 3 types that have identical behaviour in different temperature ranges – CarboThix Standard is designed for temperatures above 30°C, CarboThix Fast 15-30°C, CarboThix Rapid 5-15°C.
