Ec0mine System

Ec0mine is a polymer enriched liner support system used in block cave mining as a method to enhance safety and productivity.

Ec0mine can achieve the equivalent energy absorption to a standard Shotcrete of double its thickness, i.e. a standard 50mm Shotcrete will have the same energy absorption as a 25mm thick layer of Ec0mine.

  • Ec0mine is water based and is supplied as a blend of powder chemicals and graded sand with fibre in 30kg bags (Ec0support) and a liquid component of blended polymer (Ec0poly) in a 5L container.
  • The entire contents of the kit are simply mixed together, to form a thixotropic paste that is sprayed onto the prepared rock face.
  • This product can achieve the equivalent energy absorption to a standard Shotcrete of double its thickness, i.e. a standard 50mm Shotcrete will have the same energy absorption as a 25mm thick layer of Ec0mine. Due to the reduction of thickness, a reduction of approximately 50% in material handling via cage time and other underground logistics can be realised.

Ec0poly is a liquid blended polymer material designed to increase bond, tensile, and flexural strengths for the Ec0 Shotcrete System.

The Ec0 Shotcrete System is used as secondary support on rock faces and primary support on embankments that resists from 200Jto 1100J of energy and gains strength when placed.

Ec0support is a factory blended material designed to be a secondary support for rock faces and primary support on embankments that resists up to 300J of energy and gains strength when placed.

Ec0support is a shotcrete that can be used to inhibit the movement of rock by assisting in the prevention of fall of ground incidents.
