TROJAN® STINGER®
|
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.

APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS
• ALWAYS insert the detonator fully into the detonator-well so that the base of the detonator is against the bottom of the detonator-well.
•ALWAYS confirm that the TROJAN STINGER charge weight exceeds the initiation sensitivity requirement for the main explosive charge. Consult the explosives product literature or the manufacturer if you have any questions.
• NEVER force the detonator into the detonator-well or otherwise attempt to clear this area if obstructed. If the detonator-well does not accommodate the detonator, do not use the booster. Notify your Dyno Nobel representative.
• NEVER use the TROJAN STINGER if the detonator fits loosely or cannot be inserted fully into the detonator-well. The TROJAN STINGER is designed to be used with Dyno Nobel detonators. Detonators made by other manufacturers may not fit into the detonator-well.
• Minimum detonator is No. 8 strength for temperatures above -40º C (-40º F). A high strength detonator is recommended for temperatures below -40º C (-40º F).
• 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.
