Innovex Lateral RG

Updated: October 28, 2024

Product Description

Innovex Lateral RG is a bulk pumped booster-sensitive gassed emulsion. Innovex Lateral RG is a dual salt emulsion formulated with refined oils plus additional inhibiting salts and agents to retard exothermic reaction in sulphide bearing ground.

Application

Innovex Lateral RG is designed for blasting applications in underground mines, quarries, and construction with wet or dry holes. It is specifically formulated for use in the presence of sulphide reactive ground.

Primary Benefits

The Innovex Lateral RG multiple salt formulation, in conjunction with other qualified initiation products and site-specific procedures, form a system proven to be safe and reliable for blasting in sulphide reactive ground. Innovex Lateral RG may also be qualified for use in ground with elevated temperatures on a site-specific basis. Innovex Lateral RG is a product demonstrated to generate very low levels of post blast NOx fume.

Technical Properties

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.

Guidelines For Use

Innovex Lateral RG is compatible with most non-electric and electronic detonator systems.

Use of detonating cord with Innovex Lateral RG may influence blast outcomes.

Hole Diameter Minimum Cast Booster Mass
Holes 32 mm to 48 mm 12 g or larger
Holes 48 mm to 89 mm 20 g or larger
Holes 89 mm to 102 mm 90 g or larger
Holes larger than 102 mm 340 g or larger

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 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.

Reactive Ground

This product is specifically 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 Specialist for additional guidance.

Sleep Time

The safe loading window and in hole sleep time for Innovex Lateral RG is site specific. The site-specific sleep time is determined by isothermal reactive ground testing at a BME laboratory. It is also dependent on factors such as hole diameter, density, ground water conditions and initiation system. Please consult with a BME Technical Representative for guidance.
