TITAN 1000 SD
|
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.

APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS
• Only ANFO manufactured with emulsion-compatible AN prills is recommended for use in TITAN 1000 SD emulsion/ANFO blends.
• The minimum cast booster recommended to prime TITAN 1000 SD and TITAN 1000 SD emulsion/ANFO blends and TITAN 1000 SD Heavy ANFO 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).
• NEVER load TITAN 1000 SD Heavy ANFO blends into boreholes where standing water is present! Augered TITAN 1000 SD Heavy ANFO blends are to used in dry or dewatered boreholes only. To produce consistently good results, wet boreholes must be dewatered. After dewatering, check the borehole to ensure there is no re-entering or residual water. As soon as the borehole is confirmed dry, immediately prime and load.
TRANSPORTATION, STORAGE AND HANDLING
• TITAN 1000 SD 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 SD 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 SD in compliance with federal, state, provincial and local laws governing bulk explosives.
