Velocity of Detonation, Relative Weight and Bulk Strengths calculated using the IPX code for average in­ hole densities and a cut-off pressure of 100 MPa relative to ANFO at a density of 0.80 g/cm3.

Actual in field velocity of detonation will vary and is dependent on hole diameter and confinement. Bulk and Volumetric Energies measurements made by underwater bubble energy tests at UTEC labs.

Guidelines For Use

Priming and Initiation

lnnovex 300D is compatible with most non-electric and electronic detonator systems. Use of detonating cord with lnnovex 300D may influence blast outcomes.

Hole Diameter Minimum Cast Booster Mass
64 mm to 127 mm 150 g
Greater than 127 mm 400 g

Blasthole Charge Length Hole Diameter Density Relationships

Maximum hole depth depends on product selection, hole diameter, product densities, critical void space and the presence of water. Please contact a BME Technical Representative for additional guidance and site specific calculations using BME's DensDepth program.

Ground Temperature

This product may be used in ground temperatures from O °C to a maximum of 65 °C. If the application requires use outside of this temperature range please contact a BME Technical Representative for additional guidance.

Reactive Ground

This product is not formulated for use in reactive ground. Reactive ground is typically characterised by the presence of sulphide mineralization. If the application requires use in known reactive ground, or in untested sulphide bearing ground, please contact a BME Technical Representative for additional guidance.

Sleep Time

The recommended maximum sleep time is 21 days. Sleep time is dependent on factors such as hole diameter, density, ground water conditions and initiation system. If the application requires longer in-hole sleep time, please consult with a BME Technical Representative for guidance.

Storage

The storage life for lnnovex 300D base emulsion is typically up to 6 months under good storage conditions. Please consult with a BME Technical Representative for site specific storage life guidance.
