LOW COLUMN CHARGE EXPLSOIVES
It is a low density non-cap sensitive Class 2 emulsion explosive manufactured by mixing Emulsion matrix with ammonium Nitrate prills with HSD having Brand name OPTIGEL.
Our group company M/s SBL ENERGY LIMITED is manufacturing Non Cap Sensitive Class II Explosive, it is manufactured by mixing Emulsion matrix doped with ammonium Nitrate prills with HSD having Brand name OPTIGEL.
Application: Optigel Cartridge is suitable for use in large dia holes, of 100 mm or more & where the blast holes are dry or damp with little presence of water. The product is Non-cap sensitive explosive & is to be used as a column charge in open cut mining, quarrying and for general blasting. For charging Optigel Cartridge would be dumped inside the bore hole as the case with similar cartridge products.
ADVANTAGES
-
Reliable and easy to use, provides consistent result.
-
Low density product, hence high column height with minimum explosive charge.
-
Cost effective explosive for dry hole or damp holes.
-
Higher heave energy compare to Slurry/Emulsion Cartridge Explosives would result in better fragmentation with less vibration. Its heave energy will be equivalent to ANFO.
SAFETY
-
Should be kept away from heat/ sparks/ open flames/ hot surfaces
-
Avoid shock/ friction/ grinding
-
Avoid dust accumulation
-
Wear protective equipments
-
Should only be handled by qualified and authorised persons
-
Should be stored in a cool, well ventilated and dry area
* REE is the effective energy relative to ANFO at a density of 0.85 g/cc . Energies based ideal detonation calculation. VOD of explosive depends on density , diameter of hole and degree of confinement . VOD quoted is unconfined condition.
