TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
DYNOSPLIT® EX PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
 DYNOSPLIT EX is a detonator sensitive, perchlorate free,
Small Dia. Detonator Sensitive Continuous Packaged Emulsion packaged emulsion explosive product. It is produced in a continuous cartridge form
 specifically for both surface and underground perimeter control applications such
 as presplit and trim blasting. DYNOSPLIT EX is crimped every 400 mm (16 in) and
 SDS externally traced the entire length with 10 g/m (50 gr/ft) detonating cord. The continuous
 Properties #1157
 explosive column provides consistent blast hole pressure along the entire loaded blast
 hole zone resulting in a uniform tensile shearing effect. DYNOSPLIT EX can be cut to fit
 the desired load length or spliced to increase the load length.
