TITAN 1000 G
|
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.

APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS
• TITAN 1000 G emulsion matrix is shipped as an oxidizer and must be sensitized with Dyno Nobel chemical gassing technology to become detonable prior to use.
• Only ANFO manufactured with emulsion compatible AN prills is recommended for use in TITAN 1000 G emulsion/ANFO explosive blends.
• The minimum cast booster weight recommended to prime TITAN 1000 G emulsion explosives or emulsion/ANFO explosive blends is 340 g (12 oz).
• ALWAYS double prime when bulk explosive columns exceed 6 m (20 ft). One primer should be positioned near the bottom of the hole and the second nearer the top of the explosive column.
• Do not use detonating cord in borehole diameters less than 159 mm (6¼ in).
TRANSPORTATION, STORAGE AND HANDLING
• TITAN 1000 G can be stored for 3 months at temperatures between -18º C and 32º C (0º F and 90º F ). Older product should be used first and all storage tanks should be kept clean of residual product.
• Use only pumps which have been approved by Dyno Nobel for 5.1 emulsion matrix transfer. Pump type, pump speed, worn pump parts, repeated repumping and pumping against high hose pressures can increase TITAN 1000 G viscosity and decrease shelf life.
• ALWAYS monitor emulsion pump performance and check pumps periodically for excessively worn parts. Design storage facilities to minimize repeated pumping.
• Transport, store, handle and use TITAN 1000 G in compliance with federal, state, provincial and local laws governing bulk oxidizing liquids.
