Kemix A and Kemix A MP cartridges are emulsion explosives containing aluminum wrapped in plastic film. The aluminum powder is added to increase the explosion energy. Cartridges that do not contain aluminum powder can be specially ordered under the product name Kemix. Kemix cartridges without aluminum are recommended for use in mines where there is a risk of sulfur dust explosions.
Kemix A and Kemix A MP cartridges are suitable for all types of blasting. The cartridges can be used as either base or muzzle charges and are well suited for underground blasting. Kemix A cartridges with a diameter of over 40 mm can be used as boosters for ANFO and Kemiitti explosives. Thanks to the cartridges’ water resistance and specific gravity, they are suitable for applications where the explosive is exposed to water. Kemix A is completely insoluble in water, making this an environmentally friendly explosive. It can also withstand temperatures below zero degrees Celsius.
