FASLOC ^® Resin Cartridges

Polyester resin anchoring system

Performance Data

1. Figure 1 represents the range of anchorage strengths for estimating requirements.
2. Depending upon the compressive strength of the rock being considered, the diameter of the hole may affect the anchorage strength - the larger the diameter, the larger the contact area.
3. Pull test under field conditions should be used to determine actual requirements.
4. Gel times are faster when temperatures exceed 55°F and slower when temperatures are below 55°F.
5. For RPM not shown in the Mix Table, determine minimum spin time based on 30 revolutions.
6. For 1-minute and lower gel times, the spin times indicated exceed the minimum 30 revolutions necessary for mixing. The additional spin times generates heat to achieve the stated gel times
7. Mixing the resin and catalyst components in a cartridge creates a strong three dimensional polymer matrix that is reinforced with limestone filters. Most of the anchorage strength is reached in 5 to 10 times the product gel time.
