Rokkon® R (FS)
Polyester-resin capsule for fast rock-bolt anchoring in mining and tunnelling
Product Overview
Rokkon® R (FS) is a polyester-resin capsule system for anchoring rock bolts during tunnelling and mining. Each capsule holds pre-measured resin and catalyst; when a rotating bolt is driven into the drill hole it bursts and mixes the components, filling the annulus between bolt and rock. The fast-setting resin develops very high early strength, locking the bolt in place to reinforce freshly exposed strata and prevent roof or wall collapse. It supports both point anchorage and full-column grouting, and the cured polyester resists vibration, fresh and salt water, oils, grease, petrol and salts, giving durable anchorage in aggressive underground environments. As a laboratory-tested, pre-packed product it removes site mixing errors. Space Arc Engineering, an authorized Sika distributor in India, supplies Rokkon R (FS) for mining, tunnelling and ground-support contractors who need rapid, reliable rock reinforcement.
Features & Benefits
- Very fast set with a 3-4 minute pot life for rapid bolt installation
- High early strength – over 60 N/mm2 compressive within 1 hour at +22°C
- Distributes load along the bolt, avoiding localised stress points
- Cured resin resists water, oils, grease, petrol and salts
- Vibration-resistant for durable permanent anchorage
- Pre-packed and lab-tested, eliminating on-site mixing variability
Technical Highlights
| Coverage | Capsule quantity per bolt depends on hole diameter and bolt length and anchorage type (point or full column); refer to TDS. |
| Strength | Compressive strength exceeds 60 N/mm2 within 1 hour and tensile adhesion exceeds 20 N/mm2 (concrete failure) at +22°C. |
| Performance | Delivers roughly 22 MT per running metre pull-out resistance in 1 day at +22°C with controlled setting. |
| Application Conditions | Designed for borehole installation by rotating the bolt; store at 10-20°C in dry conditions away from sunlight. |
| Packaging | Capsules of 32 mm diameter x 300 mm length, supplied 20 pieces per box. |
Applications
- Rock-bolt anchoring for tunnel roof and wall support
- Strata reinforcement in underground coal and metal mines
- Ground support in hydropower and rail tunnel excavations
- Anchoring in slope and portal stabilisation works
- Permanent rock anchorage in corrosive or wet underground sections

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Rokkon R (FS) used for?
Rokkon R (FS) is a polyester-resin capsule used to anchor rock bolts in tunnelling and mining. The bolt is rotated into a drill hole containing the capsule, mixing the resin and catalyst to lock the bolt and reinforce the surrounding rock against collapse.
How fast does Rokkon R (FS) set?
It has a pot life of about 3 to 4 minutes at +22°C and develops compressive strength above 60 N/mm2 within one hour, allowing very rapid installation cycles in active excavation faces.
Is Rokkon R (FS) suitable for corrosive or wet ground?
Yes. The cured polyester resin resists fresh and salt water, oils, grease, petrol and salts, and is vibration resistant, making it suitable for durable permanent anchorage in aggressive underground conditions.
What sizes does Rokkon R (FS) come in?
It is supplied as capsules of 32 mm diameter and 300 mm length, packed 20 pieces per box. The number of capsules per bolt depends on the borehole and bolt geometry – refer to the TDS.
