UN classification 1.1 D, UN 0241. Explosive, Blasting. Type E.
Performance
ANFO is an oxygen-balanced mixture of prilled porous ammonium nitrate and fuel oil (at ratio of 94.3% AN, 5.7% FO), manufactured with total process control. It is not water resistant.
High safety features
ANFO, in comparison with other explosives containing nitroglycerine is more resistant to initiation by both friction and impact. Furthermore, during storage and using, it does not cause headache or other health problems.
Product range
ANFO is packed 25 kg’s and 50 kg’s in double layer bags. For special applications, other sizes range can be produced.
Armdet HTD non-electric, short delay, trunk lines assemblies provide out of hole delays in non-electric blast patterns. Used in conjunction with Armdet MS in-hole shock tube detonator assemblies, Armdet HTD assemblies provide flexibility in blast design and ease of use. They can be used in quarries, surface coal operations, open pit and underground mines and construction projects to provide accurate surface timing.
Armdet HTD Storage
For best results, store under moderate temperatures and dry conditions in a well-ventilated, approved detonator magazine. The manufacturer guarantees the quality of the product for a two-year period if stored in appropriate conditions.
Hazardous Materials Shiping Description
Detonators Assemblies, Non-electric, Class and Division 1.1 B, UN 0360, PG II EX 9106258.
Description
Armdet HTD assemblies have 4 main components:
• Low-power capsule assembled in the interior of a surface connector.
• An green shock tube, which conveys the signal to the delay capsule. When the tube is initiated, it transmits through the interior a low-energy shock wave, which initiates the delays inside the capsule.
• Label delay element that indicating the serial number, nominal time, the length of the tube and the lot number associate with the date of manufacture, giving the user the reliability of the process of tracking and/or traceablility for each unidirectional surface connector.
• Cobra connector, which allows connection between the detonating cord and the non-electric tube, if required.
