UG BULK EMULSION HYDRA 6000

UG BULK EMULSION HYDRA 6000 is a booster sensitive emulsion explosive. This product combines both high detonation velocity and high energy during its explosion, thus covering every need during mining processes.
UG BULK EMULSION HYDRA 6000 is a complementary product to UG BULK EMULSION 100 and is used when higher performance needs to be met.

UG BULK EMULSION HYDRA 6000 is produced on site by modern technology of ELTEK’s mixing-charging systems. This innovative system ensures maximum risk reduction through the delayed activation of the emulsion explosive after usually 30 minutes.

Benefits when used in underground mining include: drill hole savings, good water insensitivity, and customizable explosive properties. Moreover, by using UG BULK EMULSION HYDRA 6000, maximum borehole charging is obtained.
This product contains SODIUM PERCHLORATE in order to achieve great power and is a unique bulk emulsion product.

Features

Usage

Suitable for blasting in road tunnels and underground mining operations. It can be used successfully on all types of rocks and mining operations of very high needs.

The bulk charging systems fit into every tunnel profile and is available in different sizes and on different carrier vehicles. As an independent unit, it can be used with great flexibility. By choosing UG BULK EMULSION HYDRA 6000 XX, the highest performance of bulk emulsion is achieved

Advantages

  • UG BULK EMULSION HYDRA 6000 can be pumped with a pump capacity of 30 to 50 kg/min. The loading time of a working face is 40% reduced compared to conventional loading work with cartridged explosives.
  • Suitable for use in boreholes that are dropping after the loading.
  • Extremely resistant to water.
  • Very low volume of toxic fumes.
  • Reduces post-blast fumes and improves turnaround time.
  • Excellent performance in operation with high performance needs.
  • Develops excellent gas volume.
  • Excellent safety against mechanical impact and friction.
  • The three components Matrix, R1 and R2, which are used to produce UG BULK EMULSION HYDRA 6000, are not explosives. This facilitates the safety of transportation and storage on the construction site. Deliveries to the construction site are made by truck in standard containers with a maximum weight of 1400 kg.

Shelf Life

6 months from the date of manufacture, if stored under the designated conditions.

Storage - Handling

Storage can take place on the construction site in a warehouse or underground at a temperature of at least 15 °C. The three components Matrix, R1 and R2, which are used to produce UG BULK EMULSION HYDRA 6000, are not explosives. This facilitates the safety of transportation and storage on the construction site. It should be handled and transported according to its Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
