Innofex is commonly used in small to medium diameter blastholes where bulk explosives loading is impractical or uneconomic. Innofex is oxygen balanced and produces low volumes of fume. In underground small hole applications, Innofex may be blow loaded to increase product density, improve detonator sensitivity, and optimize energy output.
Velocity of Detonation, Relative Weight and Bulk Strengths calculated using the IPX code at a density of 1.20 g/cm³ 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.

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.
This product may be used in ground temperatures up to a maximum of 55 °C. If the application requires use outside of this temperature range please contact a BME Technical Representative for additional guidance.
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.
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.
Shelf life
12 months when stored under good conditions.
Innofex is subject to breakdown caused by repeated temperature cycling, moisture/humidity, and multiple handlings/transfers.
Always store Innofex in dry and protected areas, away from combustible substances.
