FASLOC® TORQ Spin to Stall Resin

The TORQ resin capsule contains two-parts: a mastic compartment, and an oil-based catalyst compartment at a ratio of 11:1. Bolt rotation during installation ruptures and shreds the resin capsule compartments enabling the two components to mix. Mixing commences the chemical reaction transforming the liquids into a hard and solid bolt anchor. TORQ resin capsules contain an upper extra-fast set-time resin which is 600mm long, and a lower slow set-time resin. This configuration of resin set-times provides a timely upper resin-anchor from which to pre-tension the roof bolt. The slow set-time resin hardens after pre-tensioning and provides load-transfer in the lower portion of the bolt. Resin capsule length is chosen to fully encapsulate the bolt. High rib profile AXR bar is recommended for use with TORQ resin. TORQ resin capsules are formulated for optimal spin to stall installation performance. Spin to stall installations do not employ a hold time to allow the upper fast set-time resin to harden before pre-tensioning. Removing the hold time can improve roof bolt installation time consistency, and pre-tension levels remain unaffected.
