TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
TITAN® 1000 LD PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
 TITAN 1000 LD is a booster sensitive, high performance,
Sensitized Bulk Emulsion economical, repumpable bulk emulsion explosive specifically formulated to provide
 superior blasting performance in nearly all open pit applications where large diameter
 boreholes are used. TITAN 1000 LD can be used alone, blended with up to 45%
 SDS ANFO for direct pumping to the bottom of water-filled boreholes or as the emulsion

 explosive component for augerable Heavy ANFO blends. The percentage of emulsion
 in TITAN 1000 LD Heavy ANFO blends can be varied to best match specific blasting
 requirements. Refer to the data table at right for the physical properties and loading

 • TITAN 1000 LD can be stored for 3 months at temperatures
Sensitized Bulk Emulsion between -18º C and 32º C (0º F and 90º F). Older product should be used first and all
 storage tanks should be kept clean of residual product. • Use only pumps which have been approved by Dyno Nobel for 1.5 emulsion

 or bins. TITAN 1000 LD and ANFO should be blended and loaded directly into the
 borehole. Once blended, use only equipment specially designed to blend and load
 emulsion/ANFO or Heavy ANFO blends. • ALWAYS use only equipment specially designed to blend and load Heavy ANFO. Ensure safety systems are operational before each use. • Bulk delivery equipment should be calibrated periodically to ensure blend quality and
 explosive performance. Ensure safety systems are operational before each use. • Routinely monitor the TITAN 1000 LD / ANFO blend density to ensure that equipment
 remains in calibration during loading. • NEVER use TITAN 1000 LD ANFO blends in the presence of reactive ground, as
 defined by the AEISG Elevated Temperature and Reactive Ground Code of Practice. In reactive ground conditions, only inhibited explosive products (products validated
 by testing to be suitable for the application requirements) should be used. If reactive
 ground is confirmed or suspected, consult your Dyno Nobel representative for
 recommendations on addressing these conditions.
