Slurry Explosives
Slurry explosive or water gel represents a modern innovation in the field of explosives, gradually replacing conventional alternatives. These formulations consist of one or more solid components suspended within a gel or semi-solid matrix. Typically, they are crafted using a water-based solution containing an inorganic oxidizer such as ammonium nitrate (which can be combined with calcium nitrate or sodium) blended with a natural polysaccharide like guar gum. The infusion of fuel and oil into the gel matrix results in the formation of 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 of slurry explosive is identified by its sensitizing agent and other distinguishing factors. We offer a wide range of slurry explosives with customizable physical and detonation properties, which are determined by the specific types and particle sizes of the component ingredients.
