TITAN® XL 5000 / 5000 ΔE PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
 TITAN XL 5000 / 5000ΔE is a gassed, bulk emulsion made
Gassed Bulk Emulsion from TITAN 1000 G specifically designed for open pit mining operations with reactive
 ground. This base emulsion is transported as an un-sensitized emulsion. TITAN XL
 5000 / 5000ΔE is formulated to inhibit sulfide-bearing ore bodies utilizing Dyno Nobel’s
 SDS patented DIFFERENTIAL ENERGY™ delivery systems. The product is sensitized during

 the blast hole loading process using Dyno Nobel’s innovative chemical gassing and
 emulsion processing technology. The process used to manufacture TITAN XL 5000
 / 5000ΔE enhances water resistance and detonation performance while improving
 (min - max) loading characteristics. Chemical gassing allows the average density of TITAN XL
 Density (g/cc) avg 0.9 - 1.3 5000 / 5000ΔE to be varied as required to optimize its explosive performance for best

TRANSPORTATION, STORAGE AND HANDLING
• TITAN XL 5000 / 5000ΔE’s base emulsion TITAN 1000 G can be stored for 3 months
 at temperatures between -18º C and 32º C (0º F and 90º F). Older product should be
 used first and all storage tanks should be kept clean of residual product.
• Use only pumps which have been approved by Dyno Nobel for 5.1 emulsion matrix
 transfer. Pump type, pump speed, worn pump parts, repeated repumping and
 pumping against high hose pressures can increase TITAN 1000 G viscosity and
 decrease shelf life.
• ALWAYS monitor emulsion pump performance and check pumps periodically for
 excessively worn parts. Design storage facilities to minimize repeated pumping.
• Transport, store, handle and use TITAN emulsions in compliance with federal, state,
 provincial and local laws governing bulk oxidizing liquids.
