RIOFLEX GASSED
DESCRIPTION
RIOFLEX GX 4000 is a gas sensi-
tised high energy bulk explosive
that utilises RIOFLEX Matrix and
ANFO which enables it to be used
in mine and quarry applications.
Advantages

flexibility compared to emul-
sions APPLICATIONS
RIOFLEX GX 4000 is produced from the MSU at a wide range of average in-hole
densities, from 0.85 to 1.2 g/cm³ depending on the application required, ground

SAFETY WARNING
Read the Material Safety Data Sheet provided carefully before using RIOFLEX. MAXAM strongly recommends not to use RIOFLEX products
with detonators and/or initiation systems supplied by other manufacturers in the same blast and declines all liability in these cases.
RIOFLEX must be stored at moderate temperatures in a dry and well ventilated place.
