Sibirit-P™ is a substance intended to be applied in cartridges as a booster at initiating detonation in borehole charges for the blastholes with any degree of water presence and as charges for secondary crushing of oversize rock, with the following parameters:

  • cartridge diameter - 50 mm, charge weight - 800+50g;
  • cartridge diameter - 50 mm, charge weight - 300+50g;
  • wrapping - polyethylene film or other polymeric material.

The product will perform in temperatures ( free-air temperature) from +40oC to -35oC.

Main physical-chemical and explosive properties of Sibirit-P™ are given in the Table below.
