225 White 450 Orange APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS
 • For detailed application recommendations, ALWAYS request a copy of Dyno Nobel’s
 Product Manual: NONEL® and PRIMACORD® from your Dyno Nobel representative.
 • ALWAYS design blasts so all (or as many as possible) surface delays are ignited before
 blast-induced ground movement begins. In situations where this is not possible,
 select NONEL SL detonator delay times with firing times that allow unignited surface
 delays to be as far as possible from the initiation point of the blast.

TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
NONEL® SL PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
 NONEL SL units consist of a 76 cm (30 in) length of orange
Nonelectric Short Lead Delay Detonator shock tube sealed and looped at one end with a detonator at the other end. The loop
 facilitates easy attachment to the end of a detonating cord downline. Color-coded
 delay tags display the nominal firing time prominently.
 SDS NONEL SL detonators are primarily used for those surface and underground (non-coal)
 Properties #1122 blasting applications that require multiple explosive decks in a single borehole. They
 are also used to provide in-hole delays in blasting applications where detonating cord
 Net Explosive Content per 100 units is used as the primary initiation system. As such, NONEL SL units are designed to be
 used in conjunction with a low strength detonating cord downline.

 NONEL® SL APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS - continued
 • ALWAYS use a 1.5 to 4 g/m (7.5 to 18 gr/ft) detonating cord
 Nonelectric Short Lead Delay Detonator downline with the NONEL SL unit when making a conventional primer assembly
 • ALWAYS use detonating cord with a coreload between 3 and 5 g/m (15 and 25 gr/
 ft) when using the NONEL SL and TROJAN® SPARTAN® Slider booster as a slider
 primer assembly. Lower or higher coreload detonating cords are not recommended.
 Properties Cont. Lower coreload detonating cord may cause the detonator to misfire. Higher coreload
 detonating cords may circumvent the detonator delay or damage the booster prior to
 initiation by the detonator
 Packaging • NEVER cut or trim seals from the shock tube of the NONEL SL unit
