APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS
 ®
 • ALWAYS use Dyno Nobel PRIMACORD brand detonating cord with TROJAN NB
 Universal cast boosters for best results.
 • NEVER use detonating cord with a coreload less than (5.3 g/m or 25 gr/ft) for single
 pass threading.
 • Extremely low temperatures do not affect the performance of cast boosters with com-
 mercial detonators. Low temperatures do affect detonators and detonating cord. Be
 certain your initiation system is suitable for your application in extremely low temper-
 atures. Cast boosters are more susceptible to breakage during handling in extremely
 cold temperatures.
