Product Description

Innopak CXL is a packaged, booster sensitive, cross-linked, water resistant, high-energy emulsion.

Innopak CXL AL is a packaged, booster sensitive, cross-linked, water resistant, aluminized, high-energy emulsion.

Innopak CXL MS is a packaged, booster sensitive, cross-linked, water resistant, aluminized, high energy emulsion with solid sensitizers for an increased level of resistance to excessive shock from adjacent blast holes.

Application

Innopak CXL series products are suitable for surface applications and their water resistant characteristics make them suitable for use in small to large diameter wet holes.

Velocity of Detonation (VOD): 3500 m/s to 6200 m/s (11,500 ft/s to 20,340 ft/s) dependent on application, diameter, confinement and density.

RWS and RBS calculated with ANFO density 0.80 g/cc and effective energy 2.260 kJ/kg.

Guidelines for Use

Priming and Initiation

Innopak CXL is booster sensitive. Minimum primer is a 227 g (1/2 lb) cast booster initiated by a high strength detonator (No. 8 strength or greater base charge).

Innopak CXL cannot be directly initiated with detonating cord or detonators.

Always allow Innopak CXL ample time to warm to borehole temperature.

Consult with a BME Technical Representative for additional priming and initiation guidance.

Blasthole Charge Length, Hole Diameter and Density Relationships

Maximum hole depth depends on product selection, hole diameter, product densities, and the presence of water. Please contact a BME Technical Representative for additional guidance.

Ground Temperature

This product may be used in ground temperatures from to a maximum of 65°C (150°F) . If the application requires use outside this temperature range please contact a BME Technical Representative for additional guidance.

Reactive Ground

This product is not formulated for use in reactive ground. Reactive ground is typically characterised by the presence of sulphide mineralization. If the application requires use in known reactive ground, or in untested sulphide bearing ground, please contact a BME Technical Representative for additional guidance.

Handling and Storage

All explosives must be transported and stored in accordance with local, state and federal regulations.

Innopak products should be kept at temperatures between –15°C (5°F) and 55°C (131°F) prior to initiation.

Shelf life is 12 months from date of manufacturing and when stored at temperature conditions between –20°C (–4°F) and 40°C (104°F).

Packaging

Innopak CXL MS products are only available in Valeron film.
