TITAN 2000 matrix may be blended with ANFO to make heavy ANFO or gas sensitised blends. The product is not suitable where reactive ground conditions exist. TITAN 2000 Heavy ANFO blends contain TITAN 2000 emulsion and ANFO manufactured from porous ammonium nitrate prill (Detaprill ). The blends provide minimal water resistance and are suitable for use in dry and dewatered blastholes. TITAN 2000 Gassed Blends are emulsion rich, water resistant mixtures of TITAN 2000 emulsion and ANFO. As the emulsion content of the blend increases, the water resistance of the product increases. Gassed blends are pumped from an MPU through a loading hose to the bottom of wet blastholes. Augering of selected gassed blends into dewatered blastholes may be available. Contact your Dyno Nobel representative for more information. Advantages The addition of ANFO to TITAN 2000 matrix provides the ability to vary the bulk strength and gas volume generated during detonation. This enables tailoring of the product s energy to the ground conditions.

For gassed products this is the nominal open cup density. For design purposes refer to the Dyno Nobel gassing tables for average in-hole densities. 2. Average in-hole density may be higher under real loading conditions. 3. All Dyno Nobel energy and gas values are calculated using a proprietary Dyno Nobel thermodynamic code PRODET. Other programs may give different values. 4. The values stated are typical of those recorded for the product in various hole diameters, densities and ground. The Velocity of Detonation (VoD) is dependent upon many factors, including: the initiation system used, the product density, blasthole diameter and ground confinement. 5. For calculation of Relative Weight Strength (RWS) and Relative Bulk Strength (RBS); ANFO density 0.82g/cm 3 and an energy of 3.7MJ/kg was used. 6. CO 2 Emissions calculated as tonne of CO 2 equivalents per tonne of explosive.

Blasthole Condition TITAN 2000 Matrix Blend Series Application Recommendations Priming: Always prime blends with a minimum 400g cast booster. Additional 400g boosters should be used where there is a risk of column disruption. Contact your Dyno Nobel representative if you intend using detonating cord down lines. Sensitisation: TITAN 2000 matrix blends containing 60% or more emulsion must be sensitised as the product is delivered to the blasthole. Incorrectly sensitised gassed blends may lead to poor explosive performance and the formation of excessive post blast fume (NOx). TITAN 2050 Blends: Although not necessary in hole depths less than 13m, it is recommended that all 50% blends are sensitised. Over-sensitisation may lead to product collapse and formation of NOx. For depths exceeding 60m contact your Dyno Nobel representative. Sleep Time: TITAN 2000 matrix blends have a maximum sleep time of 21 days under ideal conditions. Sleep time is influenced by factors including ground conditions and initiating system. Ground Temperature: TITAN 2000 matrix blends are suitable for use in ground temperatures up to 55 C. Safe handling, transportation and storage First Aid You can find detailed first aid information on the relevant Dyno Nobel Safety Data Sheet. Refer to www.dynonobel.com for more information if required. Safety - All explosives are classified as dangerous goods and may cause personal injury and damage to property if used incorrectly. Transportation and Storage - All explosives must be handled, transported and stored in accordance with all relevant regulations. Stock should be rotated such that older product is used first. Product Selection Guide TITAN 2000 matrix blends may be slept for a maximum of 21 days. Where there is a risk of post blast fume the sleep times should be reduced based on a blast specific risk assessment. For assistance please contact your Dyno Nobel representative.

TITAN Matrix Blend Gassing Table TITAN 2050G 1.The left hand column in this table () indicates the height of the product column under dry or dewatered hole conditions. 2.This table applies for TITAN 2000 Matrix blends with an emulsion content of 50% w/w ONLY, i.e. T2050G and T2050. 3.Emulsion explosives behave as liquids when subjected to the gravitational stress in a vertical blast hole, and a pressure gradient in the explosive will be established. The higher the explosive column in the blast hole, the higher the internal pressure at the bottom of the column, and the larger the quantity of gassing chemicals that need to be added to provide sensitisation. choose an open cup density to ensure that the density of the explosive at the bottom of the blast hole is less than the critical density. Inappropriate sensitisation may lead to poor detonation, fragmentation and generation of excessive post blast fume. 5.To determine the required open cup density for an explosive column of 40m (for example), find 40m in the column. Moving to the right, read off the density in the unshaded column under the required open cup density (a TOE density of 1.39g/cm 3 in the 1.10g/cm 3 open cup density column). This indicates that sufficient gassing chemicals should be added to the gassed explosive blend during delivery so that an open cup density of 1.10g/cm 3 is achieved. This level of gassing chemicals will ensure that the density at the bottom of the column will be below the critical density, and the column will detonate at full order upon initiation. 6.To determine the approximate average in-hole density in a column of 40m (for example), find 40m in the column. Moving to the right, read off the density in the shaded column (an AVG. IN-HOLE density of 1.30g/cm 3 in the 1.10 g/cm 3 open cup density column). For depths that are not listed, Dyno Nobel recommends rounding up to the next highest depth e.g. a 25 m deep hole should be rounded to 26 m and corresponding densities applied. 7.Blast design should be based on the average in-hole density, whilst blast hole loading requires the MPU operator to achieve the associated open cup density. 8.The gassing reaction takes 30-40 minutes to achieve the desired open cup density at 20 C. It is necessary to allow at least this time to elapse following completion of loading and before stemming the charged blast hole. A longer period should be allowed at lower temperatures. 9.The density values shown were calculated using a laboratory mathematical model that was validated using a specially designed fit-for-purpose pressure-volume apparatus. 10.The low density explosive grade ammonium nitrate used in the model was assigned a bulk density of 0.77 g/cm 3 and a particle density of 1.58 g/cm 3.

TITAN Matrix Blend Gassing Table v2 TITAN 2060G 1.The left hand column in this table () indicates the height of the product column under dry hole conditions. In wet hole conditions, the value selected from the left hand column must be the sum of the product column plus the height of the water column in the hole prior to pumping. If the length of the product and water column exceeds the depth of the hole then the value selected from the left hand column must be the hole depth. 2.This table applies for TITAN 2000 Matrix blends with an emulsion content of 60% w/w ONLY, i.e. T2060G. 3.Emulsion explosives behave as liquids when subjected to the gravitational stress in a vertical blast hole, and a pressure gradient in the explosive will be established.

Inappropriate sensitisation may lead to poor detonation, fragmentation and generation of excessive post blast fume. 5.To determine the required open cup density for an explosive column of 40m (for example), find 40m in the column. Moving to the right, read off the density in the unshaded column under the required open cup density (a TOE density of 1.37g/cm 3 in the 1.10 g/cm 3 open cup density column). This indicates that sufficient gassing chemicals should be added to the gassed explosive blend during delivery so that an open cup density of 1.10g/cm 3 is achieved. This level of gassing chemicals will ensure that the density at the bottom of the column will be below the critical density, and the column will detonate at full order upon initiation. 6.To determine the approximate average in-hole density in a column of 40m (for example), find 40m in the column. Moving to the right, read off the density in the shaded column (an AVG. IN-HOLE density of 1.29g/cm 3 in the 1.10 g/cm 3 open cup density column).

TITAN Matrix Blend Gassing Table TITAN 2070G 1.The left hand column in this table () indicates the height of the product column under dry hole conditions. In wet hole conditions, the value selected from the left hand column must be the sum of the product column plus the height of the water column in the hole prior to pumping. If the length of the product and water column exceeds the depth of the hole then the value selected from the left hand column must be the hole depth. 2.This table applies for TITAN 2000 Matrix blends with an emulsion content of 70% w/w ONLY, i.e. T2070G 3.Emulsion explosives behave as liquids when subjected to the gravitational stress in a vertical blast hole, and a pressure gradient in the explosive will be established. The higher the explosive column in the blast hole, the higher the internal pressure at the bottom of the column, and the larger the quantity of gassing chemicals that need to be added to provide sensitisation. choose an open cup density to ensure that the density of the explosive at the bottom of the blast hole is less than the critical density. Inappropriate sensitisation may lead to poor detonation, fragmentation and generation of excessive post blast fume 5.To determine the required open cup density for an explosive column of 40m (for example), find 40m in the column. Moving to the right, read off the density in the unshaded column under the required open cup density (a TOE density of 1.35g/cm 3 in the 1.10 g/cm 3 open cup density column). This indicates that sufficient gassing chemicals should be added to the gassed explosive blend during delivery so that an open cup density of 1.10g/cm 3 is achieved. This level of gassing chemicals will ensure that the density at the bottom of the column will be below the critical density, and the column will detonate at full order upon initiation. 6.To determine the approximate average in-hole density in a column of 40m (for example), find 40m in the column. Moving to the right, read off the density in the shaded column (an AVG. IN-HOLE density of 1.27g/cm 3 in the 1.10 g/cm 3 open cup density column). For depths that are not listed, Dyno Nobel recommends rounding up to the next highest depth, e.g. a 25 m deep hole should be rounded to 26 m andcorresponding densities applied. 7.Blast design should be based on the average in-hole density, whilst blast hole loading requires the MPU operator to achieve the associated open cup density. 8.The gassing reaction takes 30-40 minutes to achieve the desired open cup density at 20 C. It is necessary to allow at least this time to elapse following completion of loading and before stemming the charged blast hole. A longer period should be allowed at lower temperatures. 9.The density values shown were calculated using a laboratory mathematical model that was validated using a specially designed fit-for-purpose pressure-volume apparatus. 10.The low density explosive grade ammonium nitrate used in the model was assigned a bulk density of 0.77 g/cm 3 and a particle density of 1.58 g/cm 3.
