Our original explosion-rated product for ventilation control, geology consolidation and mine sealing.

OPR2 Features

  • High Early Strength. Achieves specified rating within 24 hours and a compressive strength of 15 MPa in 48 hours, reaching 24 MPa in 28 days.
  • Single Application. Can be shot blasted to any desired thickness in a single application.
  • Non-slumping. Maintains form and effectiveness without slumping.
  • Ease of Use. Requires minimal site preparation work.
  • High Bond Strength. Bonds strongly to rock and coal.
  • Explosion-rated Gas and Air Barrier. Creates a secure barrier to enhance safety in critical applications.

OPR2 Applications

Aquacrete® OPR2 can be used in a range of scenarios, including:

  • Rated ventilation seals and stoppings
  • Strata stabilisation
  • Roadway containment
  • Support structures

OPR2 Performance

Aquacrete® OPR2 consistently exceeds industry overpressure performance standards, achieving up to 24 MPa in 28 days. It can be engineered to meet site-specific overpressures in excess of 100 psi. Its performance has been verified by full-scale blast testing in an underground mine, with results certified by independent engineering consultants.
