Application Directions
Hole Spacing & Hole Depth Hole spacing will vary depending on the type of rock boulder or concrete etc to be
removed. The following tables, however provide guidelines to work from:

Hole Depth:
Kind of object Hole depth
Rock/boulder 80% of height
Concrete 90% of height

Hole Spacing:
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 20-40 cm (dependant on
quantity of rebars)

 Hole Diameter In all cases the minimum hole diameter should be 36mm. The larger the hole
diameter is, the greater the expansive stress becomes. The hole size however is
recommended to be no greater than 50 mm.

Mixing Equipment ■ 10-20 litre metal or plastic bucket.

■ Measuring beaker.
■ Protective rubber gloves and goggles.
■ Mechanical mixer and paddle.
®
Mixing Pour approximately 1.5 litres (1 litre for Power Sika Rokkon RB) of clean water
®
into the container adding one 5 kg bag of Sika Rokkon RB gradually and mix well
for approximately 2-3 minutes until a lump free consistency is obtained.
®
Application ■ Sika Rokkon RB should be poured into the holes within 10 minutes of mixing
the water and powder.
®
■ Power Sika Rokkon RB should be placed within 2 minutes of mixing.
■ Drill horizontal holes with a slight slope to help in filling.
®
■ 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.
■ Spraying the surface with water and keeping it wet after the cracks inititiate
Construction

tends to increase the width of cracks and speeds the cracking process.
®
■ Covering the filled hole with a plastic cover is desirable to avoid dilution of Sika
Rokkon RB from external water source until cracking starts.

Coverage as per guidelines.

Packaging Sika® Rokkon RB is available in 5 kg bags.

Storage Up to 1 year in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions for use. Store in cool,
dry conditions as for cement. If a part bag is used, push the air out of the bag

Rokkon RB.
®
■ Do not look directly into holes filled with Sika Rokkon RB for at least 8 hours
after pouring.
■ Whenever possible keep filled holes covered for protection.
■ Ensure the area is suitably isolated prior to commencement of works.
