TekSeal™

TekSeal™ is high‑yield pumpable cement foam range engineered for construction of ventilation seals, barriers and void filling in mining environment. Mixture of powder and water in a precisely defined ratio is prepared in purpose-designed placers, where air is added during preparation and delivery of the mixture, thus increasing its volume.

Product Benefits

Complete seals and void fills faster, reducing exposure time and re‑entry delays across shifts
Remote delivery option from safe location cutting manual work and risk exposure at the face
Match density and strength to each task to minimise waste and optimise material consumption
Offers durable, yieldable seals that maintain integrity under rock movement
Reduce formwork and labour with fast‑gelling foam that builds volume quickly and places fluently

Sectors

Coal Mining

Applications

Gas & Ventilation control, Cavity (voids) filling

Product Details

TekSeal™ is Minova’s pumpable cement foam range engineered for rapid construction of ventilation seals, lightweight barriers and efficient cavity filling in underground. Mixed with water and air in a purpose‑designed placer, it produces a non‑combustible, low‑density foam that can be pumped from a safe location to the application site, reducing manual handling and exposure to a risk. Choose TekSeal or TekSeal S for maximum yield and long flow distances; TekSeal HD when higher early strength is required; and TekSeal HS or HS Fast when the highest final foam strengths or accelerated strength gain are required. The main advantages are undemanding preparation and application, transport of the mixture over longer distances, high performance and parameters optimized primarily for Ventilation Control applications. The resulting product is characterized by constant parameters in both dry and wet environments.

Product Features

High‑yield pumpable cement foam range for seals, barriers and voids

High‑yield pumpable cement foam range for mines

Using a purpose designed placer, a mixture of powder and water, into which air is mixed, the high-yield & high performance cement foam is prepared

Remote pumping from a safe, controlled location

Preparation process ,thanks to the properties of TekSeal foam and remote pumping options, takes place in a secured and accessible location, remote from the application site itself

Foam density options match specific applications

Select low to high density formulations to meet yield and strength needs for barrier and seals construction or cavity filling

Short gel time of pumped foam

The gel time of the cement foam is optimized to allow remote pumping and at the same time help minimise formwork, reduce hydrostatic pressure in constructed barriers and seal and accelerate construction or filling processes

Technologically undemanding application

TechSeal cement foams are designed for easy and quick application using purposed designed placer and a small, pump quickly with consistent, repeatable results

Product variants & Applications

TekSeal™

Low‑density, high‑yield foam for ventilation seals, barriers and voids; pump remotely for rapid, safer placement

TekSeal™ S

Low‑density, long‑flow foam for voids and ventilation walls; penetrates loose falls and reaches remote cavities

TekSeal™ HD

High‑density foam for rapid strength gain; ideal for pillar extraction voids and explosion‑proof stoppings

TekSeal™ HS

Highest foam strength for robust barricades and stoppings where durability matters

TekSeal™ HS Fast

High‑strength foam with accelerated set and ~30‑minute pump life to hit tight underground schedules
