TROJAN® STINGER®
Document type: Tech Info
Categories: Cast Boosters, Coal, Construction, Metal, Stone, Underground

APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS
 • ALWAYS insert the detonator fully into the detonator-well so that the base of the det-
 onator is against the bottom of the detonator-well.
 •ALWAYS confirm that the TROJAN STINGER charge weight exceeds the initiation sen-
 sitivity requirement for the main explosive charge. Consult the explosives product
 literature or the manufacturer if you have any questions.
 • NEVER force the detonator into the detonator-well or otherwise attempt to clear this
 area if obstructed. If the detonator-well does not accommodate the detonator, do not
 use the booster. Notify your Dyno Nobel representative.
 • NEVER use the TROJAN STINGER if the detonator fits loosely or cannot be inserted
 fully into the detonator-well. The TROJAN STINGER is designed to be used with
 Dyno Nobel detonators. Detonators made by other manufacturers may not fit into
 the detonator-well.

 • Minimum detonator is No. 8 strength for temperatures
Superprime® Cast Booster above -40º C (-40º F). A high strength detonator is recommended for temperatures
 below -40º C (-40º F).
 • Extremely low temperatures do not affect the performance of cast boosters with
 commercial detonators. Low temperatures do affect detonators and detonating
 Properties Cont. cord. Be certain your initiation system is suitable for your application in extremely
 low temperatures. Cast boosters are more susceptible to breakage during handling
 in extremely cold temperatures.
