Cast Boosters
Our Cast Boosters have reliable initiation of non-detonator-sensitive blasting agents in sizes and configurations for all applications.
TROJAN GEOPRIME is a high energy, highly reliable, seismic explosive containing patented bioremediation technology (see back for detailed explanation) and made from the highest quality PETN and other high explosive materials ensuring dependability and durability. In addition, TROJAN GEOPRIME provides consistent energy release in all extreme seismic environments. The specialized design of the Geoprime plastic shell allows charge weight to be varied, as needed, by screwing the shells together.
TROJAN GEOPRIME dBX is a high energy, high performance pentolite seismic explosive researched and engineered to increase elastic waves through improved coupling between the explosive energy and the earth. In a new approach to explosives application in geophysical exploration, TROJAN GEOPRIME dBX offers high detonation velocity and superior low post-detonation gas production. TROJAN GEOPRIME dBX produces improved seismic energy across the usable bandwidth for superior final stack data as well as improved signal-to-noise ratios as well as providing consistent energy release in all extreme seismic environments. The specialized design of the TROJAN GEOPRIME dBX plastic shell allows charge weight to be varied, as needed, by screwing the shells together. Designed by geophysicists and Dyno Nobel explosives engineers, TROJAN GEOPRIME dBX is the next generation of seismic explosives.
TROJAN NB Superprime cast boosters are detonating cord sensitive, high density, high energy molecular explosives available in various sizes. They contain no internal sensitizers or boosters. The TROJAN NB Superprime cord sensitive cast boosters are manufactured with two restricted cord tunnels supporting initiation with 3.8 g/m (18 gr/ft) PRIMACORD® detonating cord only. TROJAN NB Superprime cord sensitive cast boosters are made of a homogenous mixture of pure pentolite for superior performance, reliability, consistency and durability. The chartreuse (safety green) container makes the TROJAN NB Superprime cord sensitive cast booster more visible on the blast site and reduces the possibility of misplaced charges.
TROJAN NB Universal cast booster is a detonator and detonating cord sensitive, high density, high energy, molecular explosive available in three sizes. TROJAN NB Universal is manufactured using a homogeneous mixture of pure pentolite for superior performance, reliability, consistency and durability and is especially designed to optimize initiation of all cast booster sensitive and/or detonator sensitive explosives. Each TROJAN NB Universal cast booster is manufactured with two internal through-tunnels and a detonator well for easy use with either detonating cord or commercial detonators. The bright yellow container enhances visibility on the bench and minimizes misplaced charges.
TROJAN RINGPRIME cast booster is a detonator sensitive, high density, high energy molecular explosive, cast into a plastic shell. It has a single tunnel and capwell located centrally in the booster which will accept both NONEL® and DigiShot® Plus or SmartShot™ electronic initiation system detonators. TROJAN RINGPRIME cast boosters are formulated from the highest quality PETN and other high explosive materials ensuring reliability, consistency and durability in underground environments. In addition, the top of the TROJAN RINGPRIME wells are recessed to protect the initiation line from damage and the recessed bottom allows the insertion of a loading hose to assist in positioning the primer in the borehole.
TROJAN SPARTAN cast boosters are detonator sensitive,high density, high energy molecular explosives avaliable in various sizes designed to optimize initiation of all booster sensitive explosives. All TROJAN SPARTAN boosters are manufactured with an internal through-tunnel and detonator well for easy application with either electric, electronic or nonelectric detonators or 10.6 g/m (50 gr/ft) minimum strength detonating cord.
TROJAN SPARTAN SR cast boosters are detonator sensitive, high density, high energy molecular explosives available in three sizes designed to optimize initiation of all booster detonator sensitive explosives.
TROJAN STINGER Superprime cast boosters are detonator sensitive, high density, high energy molecular explosives specially designed for use in small diameter boreholes. They are particularly suited for use in underground blasting operations. Most commercially available electric and nonelectric detonators will fit into the molded plastic capwell. TROJAN STINGER cast boosters are manufactured using a homogeneous mixture of pure pentolite for superior performance, reliability, consistency and durability.
TROJAN TWINPLEX cast boosters are detonator sensitive, high density, high energy molecular explosives designed with 2 detonator wells and an enlarged through-tunnel to accommodate the use of 2 detonators where required. TROJAN TWINPLEX cast boosters are formulated from the highest quality PETN and other high explosive materials ensuring reliability, consistency and durability in all blasting environments.
