There are 4 grades/strengths of Emex® cartridge emulsion explosives, it is robust and sensitisation with microspheres ensures excellent shelf-life and reliability of detonation. It is a firm, water resistant cartridge which has a formable consistency for tamping. The high velocity of detonation (VOD) and relatively lower gas volumes (compared to ANFO and watergel) ensure finer fragmentation in tough ground whilst limiting over-break. Emex®- Is available in various diameters from 25mm…

Matrix™ Surface Emulsion - Matrix™ is an ammonium nitrate based emulsion which complies with the United Nations and South African standards for recognition as UN3375, class 5.1 oxidiser (i.e. non explosive). Matrix™ becomes an explosive after the addition of a sensitizer and the product has gassed in the blast hole. Is used in surface mining operations and can be mixed with ANFO to give a water resistant heavy ANFO blend.…

Explogel™ V4 A relatively low energy product designed specifically for stoping applications where a coarser and consistent fragmentation distribution is required (typically gold mining). Explogel™ V6 A middle range energy watergel cartridge that may be used for general mining purposes. Explogel™ V6 is predominantly used for hard rock stoping applications where a higher gas volume is required for increased advance per blast. Explogel™ V8 A high energy product designed for…
