Explosives Surface Bulk Emulsions

Emulsion Offerings - Surface Bulk Products

Our base emulsions are non-detonable, with the virgin oil

emulsions having a honey coloured appearance and the Eco
emulsions being grey or black in colour. Base emulsions
(SB100, S200, SB300) are handled and transported as an
unsensitized product to mines and/or operational sites.

The product is charged in blast holes when sensitised or

blended with ANA and sensitised or with Anfo mixed to various
ratios. The product's water resistance is excellent, depending
on emulsion to Anfo ratio. The minimum initiator required to
reliably detonate the sensitised emulsion is a 150gram Pentolite
Primer. The typical in-hole density of our emulsions is 1.25g/cm,
but density varies with depth. Please contact your regional sales
office for finding the best product suited to you application.

The diagram below shows the various product options available

to the market. The table gives a general technical overview of
the three main product ranges, as base emulsions.
