Sika® Rokkon RB
NON EXPLOSIVE DEMOLITION AGENT

DESCRIPTION ▪ Quarrying works, splitting of bouders, splitting of

Sika® Rokkon RB is a low pollution, non-explosive de-
molition agent. It uses special expansive cement that
generates expansive stress by reaction with water.
Sika® Rokkon RB generates cracks systematically in
rock and concrete and thus making secondary break-
ing, if any, easier.
USES
▪ Sika® Rokkon RB is ideally suited for all demolition
work but particularly where the use of explosives will
cause damage, pollution, and danger to the sur-
rounding environment.
rock before pneumatic breaker / excavator work.
▪ Demolition of mass concrete / wall / pier
CHARACTERISTICS / ADVANTAGES
▪ Soundless
▪ Environmentally friendly, no dust, flyrock, gas or
debris
▪ Easy to mix with low speed hand mixer / drill and
paddle
▪ Less hazardous than use of explosives
▪ High expansive stress
▪ Simple in handling and storage

SYSTEM INFORMATION
System Structure Hole Diameter
Minimum 35 mm
Maximum 50 mm
The larger the hole diameter is, the greater the expansive stress becomes
Hole Depth
The hole length varies with the shape of the object to be demolished
When the length is less than 3 times that of the hole diameter, less crack-
ing will occur, the breaking effect is lessened and the time required for the
demolition is increased
Kind of Object Hole Depth
Rock/boulder 80 % of height
Concrete 90 % of height
Hole Spacing
Hole Spacing Hole spacing varies with the properties of rock, joint and con-
dition of the surface, rebars quantity, secondary breaking required etc
Rock Hole Spacing
Hard virgin rock 40 - 60 cm
Soft virgin rock 50 - 70 cm
Concrete Hole Spacing
Unreinforced concrete 40 - 70 cm
Reinforced concrete 20 - 35 cm (depending on quantity
of rebars per m3 of concrete)

Substrate Temperature
Curing Time
15 °C - 35 °C

15 °C - 35 °C
(do not use Sika® Rokkon RB beyond the above application temperature)
15 °C - 35 °C
(do not use Sika® Rokkon RB beyond the above application temperature)
Cover the filled holes with a plastic cover or wet hessian to avoid any incid-
ents caused by blown-out shots.
The time required for the crack formation is normally between 10 – 24
hours depending on the temperature, hole diameter and spacing.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS LIMITATIONS

MIXING
▪ Mix 5 kg bag of Sika® Rokkon RB uniformly with 1.5 L
of water.
▪ Mix to uniform consistency for ~90 s – 120 s.
▪ Use a mechanically powered low speed drill with mix-
ing paddle
▪ Use cool water below 15 °C if the ambient temperat-
ure is higher than 30 °C.
APPLICATION METHOD / TOOLS
▪ Pour Sika® Rokkon RB mixture within 10 minutes
after mixing into the holes
▪ Spraying the surface with water after cracks initiate
tends to expand the width of cracks and fasten the
cracking process
▪ Once the Sika® Rokkon RB’s fluidity is gone it should
not be re-mixed with water as the strength is greatly
reduced.
▪ Sika® Rokkon RB must be poured into the hole to its
brim.
▪ Sika® Rokkon RB may splatter or blow out of the hole
due to the heat generation. Therefore limits the dia-
meter of the hole to maximum 50 mm and ensure
the temperature of the hole, water, ambient and the
product itself is within specification (maximum 35 °C
for substate an d product, mixing water is cool)
▪ Do not leave the unused Sika® Rokkon RB in the con-
tainer, add excessive quantity of water and then pour
onto the ground.
▪ Do not pour and leave Sika® Rokkon RB in glass con-
tainer, cans etc
▪ Sika® Rokkon RB is high alkaline products, wear Pro-
tective Glasses and Rubber Gloves during mixing and
filling of Sika® Rokkon RB

▪ Do not use for other purposes besides the cracking of
rocks or concrete
▪ Whenever possible keep filled holes covered for pro-
tection
▪ Ensure the area is suitably isolated prior to com-
mencement of works
