TROJAN® SPARTAN Technical
 Information
Cast Boosters
TROJAN® SPARTAN cast boosters are detonator sensitive, high density, high energy molecular explosives available in various sizes designed to optimise initiation of all
booster sensitive explosives. All TROJAN SPARTAN boosters are manufactured with an internal through-tunnel and detonator well for easy application with either
electronic or non-electric detonators or 10.6 g/m (50 gr/ft) minimum strength detonating cord. TROJAN SPARTAN boosters are formulated from the highest quality PETN
and other high explosive materials ensuring reliability, consistency and durability in all blasting environments. The fluorescent green container makes the TROJAN
SPARTAN booster more visible on the blast site and reduces the possibility of misplaced charges.

Understanding blast hole explosive column rise using TITAN® gassing technology (Case Study), page 1 of 1

Background
CALCULATIONS PROPOSED TO SAVE TIME
AND MONEY
TITAN gassed emulsions have been used in quarries in
the Midwest United States for some time and it has been
the practice to load gassed emulsions to a predetermined
collar height versus loading on a calculated load weight
in the blast hole. The problem with loading in this manner is that it doesn’t
take into consideration emulsion temperatures, gassing
rates or gassing densities. Many believe that loading
in this fashion is much faster so holes are loaded to a Results

the desired stemming height, the hole is immediately SAVINGS OF ABOUT 50 POUNDS PER HOLE

General Protective and Hygienic Measures: The usual precautionary measures are to be adhered to when
handling chemicals.
Keep away from foodstuffs, beverages and feed.
Wash hands before breaks and at the end of work.
Respiratory Protection:
Not required under normal conditions of use.
Respiratory protection may be required after product use.

Protection of Hands:

Protective gloves

Wear gloves for the protection against mechanical hazards according to NIOSH or EN 388.
Material of Gloves: The selection of the suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further
marks of quality and varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. As the product is a preparation of several
substances, the resistance of the glove material cannot be calculated in advance and has therefore to be checked
prior to the application.
Penetration Time of Glove Material: The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the
protective gloves and has to be observed.
Eye Protection:
