A TRADITION OF INNOVATION

Dyno Nobel’s roots reach back to every signiﬁcant in-
novation in explosives safety and technology. Today,
Dyno Nobel supplies a full line of explosives products
and blasting services to mines, quarries and contractors
in nearly every part of the world.

DYNAMITE
 PRODUCT OF CHOICE
 FOR TRENCH BLASTING
One explosive product has survived the test of time to
become a true classic in the industry. DYNAMITE! The
dynamite products manufactured today by Dyno Nobel
are similar to Alfred Nobel’s original 1860s invention
yet, in selected applications, they outperform any other
commercial explosives on the market. The high energy,
reliability and easy loading characteristics of dynamite
make it the product of choice for difﬁcult and demand-
ing trench blasting jobs. Look to Unigel®, Dynomax Pro®
and Unimax® to make trench blasting as effective and
efﬁcient as it can be.

Eye If in eyes, hold eyelids apart and flush continuously with running water. Continue flushing until advised to
 stop by a Poisons Information Centre, a doctor, or for at least 15 minutes.
Inhalation If inhaled, remove from contaminated area. To protect rescuer, use an Air-line respirator where an inhalation
 risk exists. Apply artificial respiration if not breathing.
Skin If skin or hair contact occurs, remove contaminated clothing and flush skin and hair with running water.
 Continue flushing with water until advised to stop by a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor.
Ingestion For advice, contact a Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26 (Australia Wide) or a doctor (at once). Rinse
