Booster
The Yuval company found that those explosives that are not suitable for the military market - are materials that can contribute greatly to the civilian sector.
These materials, although they do not meet military standards - are materials of higher quality than the "civilian" materials.
The civilian sector does not use these materials due to the high cost of these materials.
Since these materials are unsuitable for military use, they are sold at a low price that is comparable to the price of civilian explosives.
It turns out that the correct use of these materials saves on the use of explosives, saves drilling and saves labor and time - which is economically beneficial for quarries and is beneficial for the environment.
These materials are also stronger and more durable than the "civilian" materials and therefore their reliability is higher.
Use options
Booster can be used to accelerate the ANFO or as the main material for tunneling work in a damp environment or short boreholes.
Advantages
- Strongly water resistant
- Especially high explosive speed with better ANFO initiation performance and better rock crushing power
- Better performance than ANFO, reducing the quantity of the ANFO.
- Reduces the number of boreholes, thereby saving drilling, detonators, and charging work
- Safe – is not affected by friction or blows
- Easy and convenient to use and transport, because it is a solid and can be molded into any shape desired
Initiation
Booster is detonated with a detonator.
Safety and transportation
Booster can be transported and used pursuant to Explosives (Trade, Transportation, Manufacture, Storage, and Use) Regulations, 5754-1994
