About Cement Capsules
BuildPlus+ cement Cap is a cementitious anchor product, supplied as a ready-to-usedry powder, encapsulated in a perforated skin. At the time of application, thecapsule is put in water, allowing enough water to percolate through theperforations to from a non-shrinkable, thixotropic cementitious grout. Theoverall cohesiveness of the grout allows the capsule to be used in wetconditions or even in moving water without excessive grout washout.Rapid and Reliable Anchoring SolutionDesigned for demanding environments, these cement capsules offer swift setting times, superior adhesion, and high compressive strength. Their minimal expansion and low porosity make them dependable for critical applications such as roof bolting in mining and tunneling. Packaged to prevent moisture ingress, the capsules remain effective and stable during storage and transportation.
Superior Quality and CompatibilityFormulated from high-purity Portland cement, these capsules deliver non-toxic performance with excellent dimensional stability. Compatible with standard anchoring systems, they ensure seamless integration into a wide range of mining and tunneling operations, providing robust support in challenging underground conditions.
FAQs of Cement Capsules:
Q: How are cement capsules used in mining and tunneling operations?
A: Cement capsules are placed into pre-drilled holes and ruptured by inserting roof bolts. The cement paste quickly sets, anchoring the bolt securely in place. This process provides immediate ground control and reinforcement in underground mining and tunneling environments.
Q: What are the benefits of using these cement capsules for roof bolting?
A: The capsules provide high adhesion strength, quick setting within 34 minutes, excellent dimensional stability, and minimal expansion. Their low chloride content and non-toxic composition ensure safety, while the robust packaging preserves quality during storage and transport.
Q: When should cement capsules be applied on-site?
A: Cement capsules should be deployed immediately after drilling the bolt holes to maximize anchorage strength and minimize exposure to moisture or contaminants. They are ideal for rapid support installation during active mining or tunneling activities.
Q: Where should these cement capsules be stored to maintain quality?
A: Store the capsules in a cool, dry place and keep them in their moisture-proof packaging. Proper storage extends shelf life up to 12 months and preserves their bonding and setting properties.
Q: What ensures the compatibility of these cement capsules with standard anchoring systems?
A: These capsules are engineered for compatibility with widely used roof bolting and anchoring systems, allowing them to integrate seamlessly into existing operational setups in mining and tunneling projects.
Q: How does the chemical composition of these capsules affect their performance?
A: With a Portland cement base and 98% purity, the capsules deliver high compressive strength and low porosity. This enhances their durability, stability under load, and resistance to environmental impacts common in underground operations.
