Slurry Explosive

Description

Tiger prime is a high strength cap sensitive packaged slurry explosive suitable for use in most types of blasting applications using small, medium and large diameter holes and represent the latest development in slurry explosives technology.

Application

The product is chemically gassed and then cross-linked and is specially designed for blasts in open cast mines, quarries and construction. Superior rigid gel also ensures good handling.
Its high strength and high velocity of detonation ensures good fragmentation in hard strata and give excellent blast results in quarrying, road cutting, canal excavation and civil construction.
Product is relatively insensitive to accidental initiation due to impact, friction and fire. Hence it is very safe during handling, transportation, storage and usage.
Excellent water resistance allows usage in watery holes. Product has excellent fume characteristics post detonation

Technical Properties

Nominal Density (g/cc) 1.20 – 0.05
Relative Weight Strength* 85%
Relative Bulk Strength* 119 %
Minimum Velocity of Detonation (m/Sec) 3800

*Compared to ANFO@ 0.80 g/cc

Notes

  • REE is the Effective Energy relative to ANFO at a density of 0.85g/cc. ANFO has an effective energy of 2.30 MJ/kg.
  • VOD will depend on application including explosive density, blasthole diameter, temperature and degree of confinement. The minimum VOD quoted is based on unconned test ring data and calculated energy values.

Recommendations for Use

  • Excellent water resistance and high density allow use in wet blastholes.
  • Requires Detonator of No. 8 Strength / Detonating Cord for initiation.
  • Suitable for use in ground temperatures up to 65ºC.
  • During charging ensure that cartridges are charged in a continuous column in the bore hole.
  • Post detonation fume characteristics of the product make it suitable for both underground and surface blasting applications, however users should ensure that adequate ventilation is provided prior to re-entry into the blast area.

Packaging

Tiger prime is packaged in plastic film/lay flats. Each box contains nominally 25kg of product with standard cartridge sizes and counts as follows:

Dia Nominal length Nominal Mass Cartridge per Box
83 mm 460 mm 2780 gm 9
125 mm 460 mm 6250 gm 4

Storage

For the best results, store under moderate temperatures and dry conditions in a well ventilated, approved magazine.
If stored in cool, dry, well ventilated magazine and handled properly, the shelf life of Tiger prime is 6 Months from the date of Manufacturing. However, exposure to hot or cold extremes may cause the product to deteriorate pre-maturely.
Avoid extremes of shock, heat, friction or mechanical impact to prevent pre-mature initiation.
All regulations pertaining to the handling and use of such explosives apply.
