Features
Usage
- Suitable for use in quarries, surface applications, road and other constructions, where use of explosives is required.
- It is initiated by detonator of min 0,7g PETN (or similar charge) and by detonating cord.
- Not suitable for mines with a risk of fire or explosion of coal dust and where flammable gases may be present.
Advantages
- Very resistant to water.
- Excellent performance in surface operations.
- Very low release of toxic fumes.
- Produces great gas volume.
- Excellent safety against mechanical impact and friction.
- Easy loading.
