Resin, catalyst, and other additives are packed in polythene tubes to form resin capsules. They are widely used as an anchoring medium in tunnel construction, civil engineering, and mining industries. The advantages of using resin capsules are fast anchorage to the surrounding strata, immediate transfer of high load, resistance from the lateral and horizontal strata movements by full column bonded bolts, provide rigidity and strength, seals dripping holes, wet and elimination of deterioration of hole, remains unaffected by fresh or sea water, mild alkalis, and mild acids, provides resistance to anchoring failure due to vibration or blasting, and are easy to install. The rapid industrialization and urbanization has increased the demand for resin capsules. The increasing use of resin capsules in construction and mining industry are the growth drivers for resin capsules market. Shorter shelf life and health hazard are some of the factors hindering the growth of the resin capsule market.
