ISOLATEK® MANDOSEAL™

Non-Combustible Mine Sealant

ISOLATEK® MANDOSEAL™ is a spray-applied vermiculite based non-combustible sealant specifically developed for the underground mining industry. MANDOSEAL was developed as a result of joint research with the Ventilation Branch of the National Coal Board, UK.

MANDOSEAL is composed of vermiculite aggregate, portland cement and selective ingredients to aid in spray application and bonding to various materialsurfaces commonly used in mine construction.The mixture is pre-blended requiring only the addition of water. It sets and dries to form a hard durable monolithic finish.

USES

MANDOSEAL is being successfully used in coal mines for:

Sealing roadways and pack sides.

To Control the leakage of air and minimize heatings in areas of spontaneous combustion.

Booster fan sites.

To fireproof the roadway on both the intake and return sides.

Air doors

As a sealant to control ventilation.

Roadway junctions, transfer points and air crossings.

To fireproof these strategic areas

Stoppings

Small stoppings of mandoseal are easily placed and will not shrink under fire conditions.

Protection of Electrical Equipment

Sealing, repairing and pre- venting spalling of roofs and ribs and around electrical equipment where a noncombustible material is required.
