TITAN 1000 LD
|
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.

APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS
• Only ANFO manufactured with emulsion compatible AN prills is recommended for use in TITAN 1000 LD Heavy ANFO blends.
• The minimum cast booster recommended to prime TITAN 1000 LD and TITAN 1000 LD Heavy ANFO blends is 454 g (16 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 with detonating cord in borehole diameters less than 200 mm (8 in).
• NEVER load TITAN 1000 LD Heavy ANFO blends into boreholes where standing water is present! Only load TITAN 1000 LD Heavy ANFO Blends with 50% or greater NFO into dry or dewatered boreholes. Blends with greater than 65% ANFO are not recommended in applications where water may seep back into the borehole, unless a liner is used.
TRANSPORTATION, STORAGE AND HANDLING
• TITAN 1000 LD can be stored for 3 months at temperatures between -18º C and 32ºC (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 1.5 emulsion explosive transfer. Pump type, pump speed, worn pump parts, repeated repumping and pumping against high hose pressures can increase TITAN 1000 LD 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 LD in compliance with federal, state, provincial and local laws governing bulk explosives.
