*Never expose explosive materials to sources of heat exceeding 66°C (150°F) or to open
 flame, unless such materials or procedures for their use have been recommended for such
 exposure by the manufacturer.

 All Dyno Nobel Inc. energy and gas volume values except Velocity and Detonation Pressure
 are calculated using PRODET™ the computer code developed by Dyno Nobel Inc. for its
 exclusive use. Other computer codes may give different values.
 APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS
 Velocity and Detonation Pressure are the result of empirical methods during May 2009. • ALWAYS use detonator(s) only with TROJAN TWINPLEX cast boosters.
 • NEVER use detonating cord with TROJAN TWINPLEX cast boosters. The through-
 tunnel has been widened to accommodate two detonators, where required. Use of
 detonating cord may cause misfires, which may kill or injure.

TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
TROJAN® TWINPLEX® PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Cast Booster TROJAN TWINPLEX cast boosters are detonator sensitive, high density, high energy
 molecular explosives designed with 2 detonator wells and an enlarged through-tunnel
 to accommodate the use of 2 detonators where required. TROJAN TWINPLEX cast
 SDS
 Properties #1108
 boosters are formulated from the highest quality PETN and other high explosive
 materials ensuring reliability, consistency and durability in all blasting environments.
 The fluorescent green container and clear printing makes the TROJAN TWINPLEX
 booster more visible on the blast site (as well as in low light situations) and reduces
 Density g/cc avg 1.60 the possibility of misplaced charges. The redesigned Caplock™ holds the detonator in
 Velocity m/sec 7,550 place more securely and makes it more difficult for the detonator to be pulled out of the
 capwell position while it is being lowered into the borehole.

TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
TROJAN® TWINPLEX® APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS - continued
 • NEVER force the detonator into the through-tunnel, the
Cast Booster detonator-well or otherwise attempt to clear these areas if obstructed. If the through-
 tunnel or detonator-well does not accommodate the detonator, do not use the cast
 booster. Notify your Dyno Nobel representative.
 • Minimum detonator is No. 8 strength for temperatures above -40º C (-40º F). A high
 Properties Cont. strength detonator is recommended for temperatures below -40º C (-40º F).
 • Extremely low temperatures do not affect the performance of cast boosters with
 Packaging commercial detonators. Low temperatures do affect detonators and detonating
 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
 Gross Weight / extremely cold temperatures.
