Bulk Explosives

TITAN 7000A is a high performance, booster sensitive, repumpable bulk emulsion explosive designed specifically for use in underground construction, quarry and mining operations where contact is likely with concrete or shotcrete used for ground support. TITAN 7000A also applies in situations where pH basic ore and/or basic water conditions exist or where fumes of ammonia are problematic. TITAN 7000A is specifically applicable in shaft sinking, tunneling, drift and raise development, room and pillar, mechanized cut and fill, vertical crater retreat, uppers retreat, bench and block cave mining methods.

TITAN 7000 is a booster sensitive, high performance, repumpable bulk emulsion explosive designed specifically for use in underground construction, quarry and mining operations. Applications include drift and raise development, shaft sinking and tunneling. In addition, other underground mining methods in which TITAN 7000 has proven effective are room and pillar, mechanized cut and fill, vertical crater retreat, uppers retreat, benching and block caving.

TITAN XL 1000 / 1000 ΔE is a gassed, bulk emulsion made from TITAN 1000 G Matrix specifically designed for quarry and open pit mining operations. TITAN XL 1000 / 1000 ΔE is formulated to be sensitized during the blast hole loading process using Dyno Nobel’s innovative chemical gassing and emulsion processing technology. The process used to manufacture TITAN XL 1000 / 1000 ΔE enhances water resistance and detonation performance while improving loading characteristics. Chemical gassing allows the average density of TITAN XL 1000 / 1000 ΔE to be varied as required to optimize its explosive performance for best blast results.

TITAN 1000 SD is a booster sensitive, high performance, repumpable bulk emulsion explosive specifically formulated to provide superior blasting performance in all open pit and quarry applications where 75 mm (3 in) and larger diameter boreholes are used. TITAN 1000 SD can be used alone, blended with up to 45% ANFO for direct pumping to the bottom of water-filled boreholes; or as the emulsion explosive component for augerable Heavy ANFO blends. The percentage of emulsion in TITAN 1000 SD emulsion/ANFO or TITAN 1000 SD Heavy ANFO blends can be varied to best match specific blasting requirements. Refer to the data table at right for the physical properties of some typical TITAN 1000 SD emulsion/ANFO explosive blends.

TITAN 1000 LD is a booster sensitive, high performance, economical, repumpable bulk emulsion explosive specifically formulated to provide superior blasting performance in nearly all open pit applications where large diameter boreholes are used. TITAN 1000 LD can be used alone, blended with up to 45% ANFO for direct pumping to the bottom of water-filled boreholes or as the emulsion explosive component for augerable Heavy ANFO blends. The percentage of emulsion in TITAN 1000 LD Heavy ANFO blends can be varied to best match specific blasting requirements. Refer to the data table at right for the physical properties and loading methods for some typical TITAN 1000 LD emulsion/ANFO explosive blends.

TITAN 1000 G is an unsensitized bulk emulsion matrix specifically formulated to be sensitized during loading at the borehole using Dyno Nobel chemical gassing technology. TITAN 1000 G, Dyno Nobel’s high performance, booster sensitive emulsion explosive can be used alone in 65 mm (2-1/2 in) and larger boreholes or in larger boreholes when used in an emulsion/ANFO blend. Chemical gassing can vary the density from 1.10 and 1.30 g/cc. In addition, the percentage of TITAN 1000 G can vary to deliver explosive performance that best matches specific blasting requirements. Refer to the data table at right for the physical properties and loading methods for some typical TITAN 1000 G emulsion/ANFO explosive blends.

TITAN 1000 is an unsensitized, repumpable, bulk emulsion matrix specifically formulated for augered mixing with bulk ANFO to manufacture TITAN 1000 Heavy ANFO blends. TITAN 1000 Heavy ANFO blends with 50% or less emulsion are booster sensitive and provide excellent blasting performance in surface blasting applications where boreholes are dry or dewatered before loading. The emulsion percentage of TITAN 1000 Heavy ANFO blends can vary from 5% to 50% to best match specific blasting requirements. Refer to the data table at right for the physical properties of typical TITAN 1000 Heavy ANFO explosive blends.
