  • DESCRIPTION

    ANFO EXAL is a balanced mixture of prilled porous ammonium nitrate and fuel oil (at ratio 94,3% AN, 5,7 FO). The oxygen content is capable of burning in case of explosion. The product is manufactured in VAGEXCO Sh.p.k facilities, in an automated process that ensures homogeneous mixing and fully controlled quality.

  • HIGH SAFETY FEATURES

    ANFO, in comparison with other nitroglycerine's explosive is more resistant to initiation by both friction and impact. Use does not cause headache or other health problems.

  • IMPLEMENTATION

    Exal, is intended to use as the primary explosive in all blasting in mines, quarries and generally in underground and surface blasting. Due to its poor water resistance, its use is only in dry soil.

  • CLASSIFICATION 

    Un Classification 1.1D, UN No. 0082 Explosive, Blasting Type B

    Technical Name Explosive Blasting, Type B
    UN Number 0082
    Risk / Compatibility 1.1 D

RECOMMENDATIONS
FOR THE USE OF THE PRODUCT

  • INITIATION AND CHARGING

    Exal, does not initiate with ignition, but with other stronger explosives which are less resistant to primer detonator. For efficient initiation, proming explosive should have a diameter closest to the borehole diameter. Furthermore, in order to obtain maximum blasting performance the lenght of the primer should be 5 times more that its diameter.

  • THERMODYNAMIC AND TECHNICAL PROPERTIES

    The detonating velocity depends on cartidge diameter and cartidge confinement. Ideal detonation velocity is calculated by "JC3" thermodynamic code as a function of chemical composition.

  • PRODUCT RANGE

    EXAL is packed in 25kg's double layer bags in VAGEXCO Sh.p.k. The bags are certified for their suitability in trasportation of dangerous goods.

  • DEPTH OF HOLES

    Exal can be used in all hole depths.

  • STORAGE

    The product must be stored at a cool, dry and well ventilated storage area in accordance with national laws and regulations.
