- Fortex delivers excellent fragmentation in all kinds of blasting operations thanks to it special formulation.
- Excellent water resistance.
- Highest standards of safety against impact and friction.
- Lower labor costs due to ease of transport and hole loading.
- It can be used safely in harsh field conditions, in the range of -20/+40°C.
- It should be used together with Electric Detonator (No:8 strength), Non-Electric Detonator (NONEL), Electronic Detonator or Detonating Cord (10 gr/m and above).
- Impact should never be applied with a metal stemming bar inside the hole. If necessary, it should be inserted into the hole using a wooden stemming bar, avoiding any impact.
