TITAN 1000
|
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.

APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS
• TITAN 1000 emulsion matrix is shipped as an oxidizer and, for best results, must be blended with 50% or more ANFO before use.
• Only ANFO manufactured with emulsion compatible AN prills is recommended for use in TITAN 1000 Heavy ANFO blends.
• The minimum cast booster weight recommended to prime TITAN 1000 Heavy ANFO blends with 50% or greater ANFO content 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 explosives column.
• Do not use detonating cord as downlines with TITAN 1000 Heavy ANFO blends in borehole diameters less than 8 in (200 mm).
TRANSPORTATION, STORAGE AND HANDLING
• TITAN 1000 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 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 in compliance with federal, state, provincial and local laws governing bulk oxidizing liquids.
