Application procedure
• Pre-injection in finely fissured and broken rock
• Brittle failure risk reduction when excavating Mixing
• Stabilisation of soils containing sand and silt The accelerator is dissolved into the liquid
• Stabilisation of broken rock Component A so as to activate it prior to use. The

hardener in potable water. The concentration of
the hardener has also an effect on the gel time.
Features and benefits
• Very low viscosity to maximise penetration Application
• Controlled gel time between 1 and 12 minutes
• Adjustable strength of gel The activated Component A and the dissolved
