MINING & CIVIL

At Polymer Group, we pride ourselves on the manufacture and supply of the highest quality Polyurethane and Urea-Silicate injection resins for Underground Mining & Civil Engineering markets. Our team of experienced and highly qualified industrial chemists and resin application specialists, ensures our company is well placed to specify the right solutions for your strata support applications. Working closely with Mine Managers and Geotech Engineers, we are able to provide solutions for improved drive-age and productivity, faster re-entry, safer working environments and offer solutions to challenging underground strata conditions.

Polymer Group’s range of Rezolution Mining Products (RMP) strata stabilisation injection materials are formulated for use in mining, construction and civil engineering applications. The range comprises a series of products which provide rapid bolt grouting, rapid strata stabilisation and rapid water stopping for a variety of conditions typically encountered in tunnelling, drilling and mining environments. We also supply the pumps, injection lances, packers and other ancillary equipment/consumables for injection/installation of the Rezolution Mining Products (RMP) range.

After comprehensive research and development programs were carried out in conjunction with one of New Zealand’s leading Universities, we have been able to characterise and determine why many of the Urea-Silicate materials on the market today fail to provide consistent and reliable results. Raw material selection has been key in our development work and has enabled Polymer Group to formulate high performance products with outstanding reliability. Not only have we developed a complete range of Strata support injection resins, but have also developed the world’s first Urea-Silicate Thin Skin Liner material.

Our latest product – Silicrete TSL is a revolutionary thin skin spray on lining and is designed specifically for the consolidation of stressed rock structures associated with mining to prevent unravelling of strata and the associated risks presented from falling ground. Capable of being spray applied onto vertical and overhead surfaces, Silcrete TSL is built up on the substrate and forms a thixotropic non draining coating, penetrating into fissures and around cleats to bind the strata together. Even on wet substrates, Silcrete TSL forms a tenaciously adhered lining with extremely rapid strength development and return to service times. Application is via a simple resin injection pump.
