Innovex emulsion blends are designed for blasting applications in open pit mines, quarries, and construction with dry holes or dewatered holes. It is not for use in the presence of unprotected sulphide reactive ground or in elevated ground temperatures.
Innovex Heavy ANFOs may be loaded at varying densities to achieve energies that optimize fragmentation distribution and influence mine to mill productivity. The Innovex 100 and Innovex C (Clear) dual salt emulsion formulations are products demonstrated to generate very low levels of post blast NOx fume. The use of reprocessed oil in the fuel phase can contribute towards sustainability goals.
Velocity of Detonation, Relative Weight and Bulk Strengths calculated using the IPX code at 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.
Innovex 205 is compatible with most non-electric and electronic detonator systems.
Use of detonating cord with Innovex 205 may influence blast outcomes.
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 from 0° 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.
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.
The storage life for Innovex 100 or Innovex C (Clear) base emulsions to make Innovex emulsion blends are typically up to 6 months under good storage conditions. Please consult with a BME Technical Representative for site specific storage life guidance.
