S e c t i on 9 - P a ge2 May 2013 F ASLOC ® Resin Cartridges Polyester Resin Anchoring System Description The F ASLOC ® r esin in the cartridge is used to anchor bolts to the surr ounding strata. This unifcation of the r esin, bolt and strata layers pr ovides the necessary str ength and rigidity to pr event sag by acting as a r einfor cement which anchors the individual stratifed layers of r ock into a single high str ength beam. The two-compartment cartridge shown in illustration A above consists of a heat-sealed tube of polyester flm clipped at both ends. One compartment contains a dark gray r esin; the other , a light gray catalyst. A cr oss section of the cartridge is shown in illustration B. A flm barrier of heat sealed polyester flm pr events migration between the r esin and the catalyst to pr ovide optimum shelf life. The excellent chemical r esistance of the flm minimizes migration fr om the inside and the absorption of contaminants fr om the outside. A. THE CAR TRIDGE heat seal heat seal dark gray light gray B. CROSS SECTION The light-weight, dimensionally stable casing of flm is str ong enough to withstand r ough handling, but shr eds quickly and thor oughly during the installation pr ocedur e. F ASLOC ® is thixotr opic and fast setting. This r educes viscosity during insertion of the bolt and permits r elatively low installation for ce and tor que. The r esults ar e fast installation, rapid achievement of full str ength, and a minimum tendency for ungelled r esin to drip fr om the holes during installation. continued www .dsiundergr ound.com
