Χαρακτηριστικά

Usage

  • It is suitable and certified for underground use, mines, road tunnels and other projects where high efficiency explosives are required.
  • Can be successfully used in all rock types and very demanding mining operations.
  • Contains aluminium powder to enhance the energy and performance of the explosive.
  • During the process of filling the horizontal boreholes with Explo Gel 200, it is recommended to slightly cut the packaging film to achieve optimal filling. It is also recommended to press the last cartridges in the bore with a tamping rod.
  • Minimum critical diameter is 25mm.
  • 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

  • Excellent water resistance.
  • Excellent performance in any type of project, underground or surface.
  • Low content of produced toxic gases.
  • Reduced face approach time after detonation.
  • Produces a very high volume of gas.
  • Excellent safety against friction and impact.
  • Easy handling.

Shef Life
