Viperdet MS can be used to prime the full range of BME's detonator-sensitive explosive products.
Viperdet MS is used as a down-the-hole detonator for the initiation of explosives in standard blasting scenarios.
Detonator strength: No. 8 with double crimp.
Shock tube: Orange, with three layers coiled in a 'Figure 80' for ease of deployment and the avoidance of tangles. The shock tube is resistant to abrasion and designed to elongate to avoid tensile strength damage under normal conditions.
J-Hook: 3.6 m, 4.8 m and 6 m (12 ft, 16 ft and 20 ft) Viperdet MS units include a J-hook to ease connection to detonating cord (5 g/m minimum core load).
Label: Water-resistant. Laser printing provides clear and smudge resistant timing and product information.
Viperdet MS can be used to prime the full range of BME's detonator-sensitive explosive products.
Viperdet LP non-electric detonators can be initiated by a single strand of detonating cord with a minimum core load of 5 g/m.
To prevent a snap, slap, and shoot incident (unexpected detonation) never pull or stretch non-electric shock tube to the point of breaking.
This product may be used in ground temperatures up to a maximum of 65 °C (150 °F). If the application requires use outside of this temperature range please contact a BME Technical Representative for additional guidance.
The recommended maximum sleep time is 21 days. If the application requires longer in-hole sleep time, please consult with a BME Technical Representative for guidance.
Detonators must not be used in flammable environments such as Methane or coal dust.
