TITAN 7000A

TITAN 7000A is a high performance, booster sensitive, repumpable bulk emulsion explosive designed specifically for use in underground construction, quarry and mining operations where contact is likely with concrete or shotcrete used for ground support. TITAN 7000A also applies in situations where pH basic ore and/or basic water conditions exist or where fumes of ammonia are problematic. TITAN 7000A is specifically applicable in shaft sinking, tunneling, drift and raise development, room and pillar, mechanized cut and fill, vertical crater retreat, uppers retreat, bench and block cave mining methods.

APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS
 
• ALWAYS use a Dyno Nobel cast booster for best results. The minimum cast booster recommended for use as a primer is 10 g @ 5º C (40º F) and above; 90 g down to -20ºC (-4º F).
• 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 near to the collar.
• ALWAYS ensure primers are in the explosive column.
• ALWAYS consult a Dyno Nobel representative for specific recommendations before designing a TITAN 7000A blasting program involving the use of detonating cord.
• TITAN 7000A may be used with detonating cord only under special conditions.
• Maximum hole depth is 30 m (100 ft) but special formulations are available for deeper boreholes. Consult your Dyno Nobel representative for details.
