It is an emulsion explosive designed for pre-splitting applications on surface blast for slope control or for smooth blasting applications in underground mining operations for the purpose of ensuring the surroundings and environment of opened gaps. Balex Splitter is produced in a special tube with smaller diameter than the blast hole, providing homogeneous distribution along the blast hole, therefore ensures smoother and less disturbed surfaces. It is water resistant and can be used safely in wet boreholes.
· Due to Balex Splitters high detonation velocity and low energy, it reduces explosive damage to the walls and ceiling to a minimum, leaving a smooth and less disturbed surface.
· Balex Splitter is water proof and can also be detonated in damp blastholes.
· Balex Splitter provides shorter ventilation time due to its low gas output after the underground blasts.
Balex Splitter cartridges are sensitive to number 8 standard detonators. Thanks to its 45º wings it centers the cartridge in the blasthole. The opened wings hold on to the blasthole walls during the blast, which prevents the cartridge to change position. Balex Splitter tubes should be charged by attaching to each other. The head link should be inserted into the slot at the end of the other tube and twisted, thus allowing the shoulders at the head link to fit in the slots holes.
Balex Splitter is produced in hard plastic tubes with 19 mm diameter and 710 mm length. Cartridges are packed in carton boxes 20 kg each.
Must be stored and protected according to the rules in a dry, well-ventilated warehouse. Balex Splitter; absolutely should not be used in underground operations where explosive gases such as methane are present.
