Innopak Pre-Split

Updated: October 28, 2024

Product Description

Innopak Pre-Split is a perchlorate-free, continuous, detonator-sensitive emulsion that is crimped every 400 mm (16 in) and can be cut to a desired length.

Application

Innopak Pre-Split is designed for perimeter control for both surface and underground applications. Its water-resistant characteristics make it suitable for use in small wet holes.

Features

Packaging: Offered in a wide variety of lengths and diameters and packaged in Valeron® film for enhanced durability during loading.

Product Specifications

Nominal density: 1.20 g/m³.

Velocity of Detonation (VOD):  7000 m/s (23,000 ft/s) and is dependent on the VOD of the external detonating cord trace.

RWS and RBS calculated with ANFO density 0.80 g/cc and effective energy 2.260 kJ/kg.

Guidelines For Use

Innopak products should be kept at temperatures between –15 °C (5 °F) and 55 °C (131 °F) prior to initiation.

Shelf life: 12 months from date of manufacturing stored at temperatures conditions between –20 °C (–4 °F) and 40 °C (104 °F).

First aid: Refer to Safety Data Sheet for first-aid information.

Safety: All explosives are classified as dangerous goods and may cause damage to property, personal harm, or death, if not used correctly.

Priming and Initiation

Innopak Pre-Split is compatible with most non-electric and electronic detonator systems and are reliably initiated with detonators assembled with high strength detonators (No. 8 strength or greater base charge).

Innopak Pre-Split may also be reliably initiated by a 10 g/m (50 gr/ft) detonating cord.

Innopak Pre-Split is externally traced with 10 g/m (50 gr/ft) detonating cord to ensure complete explosive column detonation.

Do not attempt to initiate Innopak Pre-Split with No. 6 strength fuse caps.

Blasthole Charge Length Hole Diameter Density Relationships

Maximum hole depth depends on product selection, hole diameter, product densities, and the presence of water.

Please contact a BME Technical Representative for additional guidance.

Ground Temperature

This product may be used in ground temperatures from to a maximum of 65 °C (150°F) . If the application requires use outside 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.

Handling

All explosives must be transported and stored in accordance with local, state and federal regulations.

Product Risk Profile
All explosives are classified as dangerous goods and may cause damage to property, personal harm, or death, if not used correctly. Risk of explosion by shock, friction, fire, or other ignition sources. Classified as hazardous substance, dangerous goods with mass-explosion hazard. Stable under normal storage conditions.

Temperatures above 65°C (150°F) can be hazardous.

Never load a borehole containing hot or burning material.

Never attempt to fight explosives fires.

Never force explosive materials into a borehole.

Refer to Safety Data Sheet for First-Aid information.

Storage

Innopak products should be kept at temperatures between –15°C (5°F) and 55°C (131°F) prior to initiation.

Shelf life is 12 months from date of manufacturing and when stored at temperature conditions between –20°C (–4°F) and 40°C (104°F).
