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 Standards
ANFO, in comparison with other explosives containing nitroglycerine, is more resistant to initiation by both friction and impact. Furthermore, during storage and usage, it does not cause headaches or other health risks.

Product Range
ANFO is packed in 25 kg and 50 kg double-layer bags. For special orders, other sizes 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 are easy to 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, Armdet HTD should be stored in 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 Shipping 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.
• 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 indicates 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 traceability for each unidirectional surface connector.
• Cobra connector, which allows connection between the detonating cord and the non-electric tube, if required.

Performance
Armex are waterproof emulsion explosives.

High Safety Standards
Armex, in comparison with other explosives containing nitroglycerine and nitroglycol, is more resistant to initiation by both friction and impact and is much safer. Furthermore, during storage and usage, it does not cause headaches or other health risks.

Initiation and Charging
Armex in all diameters is initiated by cap sensitive explosives such as Armex Power or Armex Power Plus. If the cartridge is slit from sides during the charging, the hole diameter will be covered completely with the explosive, and this will increase the blasting performance.

Storage
Armex must be stored in a dry, well-ventilated magazine, in accordance with the regulations.

Packaging
All Armex products are supplied in flexible sleeve durable packaging.

Effective Performance
The production of new Armex Power Plus emulsion explosives is based upon unique technology. The use of this advanced technology means that the non-explosive ingredients are so intimately mixed as to produce exceptional shock and heave characteristics and subsequently, very effective rock breakage. In addition, after detonation, fume properties are excellent.
