TROJAN® SPARTAN® SR

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.

 

In addition to the internal through-tunnel and detonator well, the TROJAN SPARTAN SR (Shock Resistant) cast booster has an internal sleeve to protect the circuit board in electronic detonators and is designed specifically for use with Dyno Nobel’s DigiShot®, DigiShot® Plus, SmartShot®, and DigiShot® Plus 4G electronic detonators. The TROJAN SPARTAN SR can, however, also be used with any detonator (minimum length = 8.89 cm / 3.5 in) that may require additional protection from high shock, water hammer, effects during decking, corner operations or in certain geologies.

 

The TROJAN SPARTAN SR (Shock Resistant ) cast booster also incorporates the unique Caplock™ feature which holds the detonator in place more securely and makes it more difficult for the detonator to be pulled out of capwell position while it is being lowered into the borehole. Even with this new Caplock feature, the detonator can still be removed if necessary.

 

TROJAN SPARTAN SR cast boosters are formulated from the highest quality PETN and other high explosive materials ensuring reliability, consistency and durability in all blasting environments.

The fluorescent yellow container makes the TROJAN SPARTAN booster more visible on the blast site and reduces the possibility of misplaced charges.

 

APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS

 

• NEVER force the detonator into the through-tunnel, the detonator-well or otherwise attempt to clear these areas if obstructed. If the through-tunnel or detonator-well does not accommodate the detonator, do not use the booster. Notify your Dyno Nobel representative.

• ALWAYS use a detonator with a minimum length of 8.89 cm (3.5 in). The detonator well length is 10.2 cm (4.0 in).

• Extremely low temperatures do not affect the performance of cast boosters with commercial detonators. Low temperatures do affect detonators and detonating cord. Be certain your initiation system is suitable for your application in extremely low temperatures. Cast boosters are more susceptible to breakage during handling in extremely cold temperatures.
