Kemiitti 810 is a chemically sensitized emulsion explosive. The product produces an emulsion matrix at the loading site and is pumped through a hose directly into the borehole. The product is loaded by pumping it into up-, down- and horizontal boreholes using custom-made loading units. The product sensitizes to a finished explosive within 10–30 minutes after loading.
The K810 UG is suitable for all underground excavation applications, especially in operations that require fast charging and/or good water resistance. The product is grease-like in consistency and has a white or yellowish color. The raw materials for Kemiitti 810 UG (matrix and gassing agent) are delivered to the customer in transport tanks or IBCs. Local regulations must be observed when using Kemiitti 810 UG.
A specially formulated Kemiitti 810 UG product called Kemiitti 810 UGX has been developed for uphole charging. Its explosive properties, handling and storage instructions are the same as the K810 UG product, but the K810 UGX emulsion has better adhesion in uphole due to a component added to the matrix.
