Health and safety information
Cementitious Grout for Rock Bolting
Ecology Do not dispose into waterlines
Transportation class Non hazardous Description Sika Rokkon Grout is a 1 component ready to use cementitious grout
developing quickly mechanical strength for rock bolting purpose.
Waste disposal According to local law
It can be used either post or pre grouted rock bolts.
Important notes Sika Rokkon Grout is cement base therefore is alkaline. Use rubber Thanks to its early setting properties, under certain circumstances, it might
gloves when working with Sika Rokkon Grout. If Sika Rokkon Grout be used where rock bolting needs to be executed under difficult conditions
gets into eyes, clean out immediately with fresh water. (water seepage) without requiring peliminary dewatering work.
Uses Sika Rokkon Grout is used for the grouting of rock bolts, soil nails that
are used in any underground construction or for slopes stabilization when
high early strengths development is required.
Sika Rokkon Grout can be used for any fixing or anchoring work such as
anchoring of the ventilation tube, survey reference marks.
Sika Rokkon Grout with 5-10 mm aggregate can be used as back filling
mortar or micro concrete for repair or construction work when early strength
are required.
It is the substitute product of Sika Rokkon C-VN (cementitious cartridge)
when the rock bolt need to be fully grouted or when the number of cartridges
of Sika Rokkon C-VN required for rock bolting purpose became to
important.
Thanks to its fast reactive properties, Sika Rokkon Grout can be used for
other purposes than rock bolt grouting, for instance cavities back filling,
soils stabilization for instance. In that case, please contact Sika Technical
Department
Advantages Sika Rokkon Grout:
Reliability: 1 single component factory manufactured, need only water
addition
Non shrink: controlled expansion counteracts shrinkage to provide
effective contact with rock and effective steel corrosion protection ofthe
rock bolts
Chloride free: develops early strength without the use of chloride and
makes it safe to use with embedded steel.
Possibility to adjust the consistency of the grout from flowable to
thixotropic consistency.
Early initial and final set with high early strength development allowing
further construction work (such as blasting work) without delay.

Pumping equipment
The type of pump available might dictate the type of anchor system (post
or pre grouted).
Sika Rokkon Grout is preferably pumped with mechanical pump such as
screw pump, squeeze pump or piston pump.
It is advisable to use Sika Clean 10 to remove any hardenen part of
Sika Rokkon Grout that might bond onto the equipment.
