To solve the difficult problems of failure of pretensioned bolt supports under high ground pressure and temperature, a new kind of anchorage agent with excellent performance is developed. First, the selection and compounding of raw materials were conducted. The new anchorage agent was obtained by modifying the PET resin by mixing with a phenolic epoxy vinyl ester resin (FX-470 resin) and adding a KH-570 silane coupling agent. Then, the viscosity, thermal stability, compressive strength under different temperatures, and anchorage capacity of the new anchorage agent were tested. Moreover, the best proportion ratio of anchorage agent by mixing resin : coarse stone powder : fine stone powder : accelerator : curing agent : KH-570 = 100 : 275 : 275 : 1 : 32.5 : 1 is obtained. The test results showed that, with the addition of a KH-570 silane coupling agent, the viscosity decreased significantly, thereby solving the difficult technical problems of pretensioned bolt supports in full-length anchorage support. Compared with the conventional anchorage agent, the compressive strength of the new anchorage agent increased by 20.4, 82.5, 118.2, and 237.5% at 10, 50, 80, and 110°C, respectively, and the anchorage capacity increased by 4.7, 8.7, 40.2, and 62.9% at 30, 50, 80, and 110°C, respectively. Finally, the enhancement in compressive strength and heat-resistant mechanism are revealed through microanalysis.
