SLURRY EXPLOSIVES
Slurry explosive or water gel is a relatively recent discovery of explosive that has taken over traditional explosives. Slurries comprise one or more solid components in gel or semi solid form. Essentially, these are prepared using a water solution of an inorganic oxidiser like ammonium nitrate (can be mixed with calcium nitrate or sodium) mixed with a natural polysaccharide like guar gum. Diffusion of fuel and oil in the gel produces slurry.
SAFETY
-
Should be kept away from flame & excessive heat
-
Should be handled and stored with care.
-
Do not subject product to heavy impact or friction
-
During charging ensure that cartridges are charged in a continuous column in the bore hole
ADVANTAGES
-
Cost efficient, easy to use and safe
-
They provide high degree of safety from Mechanical Impact friction
-
They have exceptional bore hole coupling as they have high loading density in a bore hole thus enabling them to transfer maximum energy
-
Better water resistance than ANFO
Each type is recognised by a sensitiser and other identification factors. We offer an extensive range of slurry explosives with changeable physical and detonation factors, based on the different type and particle size of the component ingredients.
