DYNOSPLIT® AP
|
DYNOSPLIT AP is a detonator sensitive, continuous, packaged emulsion explosive product that is specifically designed for underground perimeter control applications such as prespliting and trim blasting. DYNOSPLIT AP does not utilize either an internal or attached external detonating cord trace making it an all-purpose, water resistant, cost effective emulsion product for this application. The continuous explosive column provides consistent borehole pressure along the entire loaded borehole zone resulting in a uniform tensile shearing effect. DYNOSPLIT AP is one continuous single cartridge and can be ordered in a standard length so that cutting is not needed, making this product very easy to handle.

Application Recommendations
• DYNOSPLIT AP is recommended for use with either electric, electronic or nonelectric standard strength detonators or detonating cord.
• When initiating with detonating cord, ALWAYS use 5.3 g/m (25 gr/ft) detonating cord when internal product temperatures are higher than 0° C (32°F) or 8.5 g/m (40 gr/ft) detonating cord when internal product temperatures are -20º C to 0° C (-4° to 32° F)
• DYNOSPLIT AP will perform in temperatures from -20º to +50º C (-4º to 122º F). At internal product temperatures higher than -18º C (0º F), ALWAYS use a Dyno Nobel standard strength detonator or equivalent. At internal product temperatures below -18º C (0º F) and higher than -23º C (-10º F), ALWAYS use a 10 gram or larger cast booster. For internal product temperatures below -23º C (-10º F), consult your Dyno Nobel representative for the recommended cast booster size.
• Emulsion explosives are susceptible to “dynamic shock” and may detonate at low order or fail completely when applied in very wet conditions where explosive charges or decks are closely spaced and/or where geological conditions promote this effect. Consult your Dyno Nobel representative for alternate product recommendations
when these conditions exist.
Transportation, Storage and Handling
• DYNOSPLIT AP must be transported, stored, handled and used in conformity with all applicable federal, state, provincial and local laws and regulations.
• Packaged emulsions have a shelf life of one (1) year when stored at temperatures between -18ºC and 38º C (0ºF and 100ºF). Explosive inventory should be rotated.
Avoid using new materials before the old. For recommended good practices in transporting, storing, handling and using this product, see the booklet “Prevention of Accidents in the Use of Explosive Materials” packed inside each case and the Safety Library Publications of the Institute of Makers of Explosives.
