| CAST BOOSTERS |
| SAFEX BOOSTEX |
Boostex is cast Booster with very long shelf life, high VOD, high density and high strength. It is used for priming any relatively insensitive explosives like ANFO, Slurries and Emulsion. It is sensitive to initiation by No.6 / No.8 detonators and detonating cord. Upon initiation they detonate at a high velocity and very high detonation temperature. These boosters are equipped with two holes for easy initiation with detonating fuse or detonators. These are available in pellets of 20 g, 100 g, 200 g, 250 g, 400 g & 500 g. |
| Uses: |
| • |
Boostex can be used for initiating non-cap sensitive charges in a bore hole at any predetermined point in a column of explosive charge. |
| |
|
| Advantage: |
| • |
Boostex contain no nitroglycerine and therefore are less sensitive to shock and friction than dynamite boosters. |
| • |
Boostex always detonates at high velocity which develops maximum energy. |
| • |
Long storage is possible. |
| • |
Convenient to use and assemble. No prickers are required. |
| • |
Since it is not NG based, the problem of fumes which causes headache is avoided. |
