 Fume Class Not used for underground eters to reduce borehole pressure. Always stem to minimize air blast and plug the
 borehole above the explosive column to prevent stemming from filling the air space.

STONECUTTER ™ Product Description
Ammonium Nitrate Nitroglycerin Dynamite STONECUTTER is a customized, ammonium nitrate nitroglycerin dynamite. A plastic
 or paper coupler, attached to one end of each cartridge, allows easy assembly into
 a continuous length. Optional spacer cartridges allow reduction in explosives load,
 SDS maximum energy distribution and simplify loading. STONECUTTER was developed
 Properties #1019 for use in the production of dimension stone. Low density, velocity and energy combine
 for good shearing effect, reduced after blast residue and will not discolor stone
