Results for tag: "Industrial Explosive"

Industrial explosives are materials used in a wide range of industrial applications, such as mining, quarrying, construction, and demolition. They are typically used to break up large rocks and boulders, or to demolish structures. Industrial explosives are usually divided into two categories: high explosives and low explosives. High explosives are used for large-scale operations, such as mining and quarrying, while low explosives are used for smaller operations, such as demolition. Industrial explosives are typically composed of a fuel and an oxidizer, and are usually packaged in a form that is easy to transport and handle. The fuel and oxidizer are usually mixed together in a specific ratio, and the mixture is then placed in a container, such as a cartridge or a stick. The container is then sealed and transported to the site of use. Industrial explosives are regulated by government agencies, and must meet certain safety standards. Companies in the industrial explosives market include Orica, Dyno Nobel, Austin Powder, and Maxam. Show Less Read more
