TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
TITAN® 1000 SD PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
 TITAN 1000 SD is a booster sensitive, high performance,
Sensitized Bulk Emulsion repumpable bulk emulsion explosive specifically formulated to provide superior
 blasting performance in all open pit and quarry applications where 75 mm (3 in) and
 larger diameter boreholes are used. TITAN 1000 SD can be used alone, blended with
 SDS up to 45% ANFO for direct pumping to the bottom of water-filled boreholes; or as the
 Properties #1062
 emulsion explosive component for augerable Heavy ANFO blends. The percentage of
 emulsion in TITAN 1000 SD emulsion/ANFO or TITAN 1000 SD Heavy ANFO blends can
 be varied to best match specific blasting requirements. Refer to the data table at right

 sleep times are anticipated, ALWAYS limit ANFO percentage in TITAN 1000 SD Heavy
 ANFO blends to less than 50%. When product will sleep overnight and less water
 resistant blends are being considered, consult your Dyno Nobel representative for
 loading recommendations. • NEVER store blended TITAN 1000 SD emulsion ANFO blends and Heavy ANFO
 blends in bulk delivery equipment, tanks or bins. TITAN 1000 SD and ANFO should
 be blended and loaded directly into the borehole. • Use only equipment specially designed to blend and load emulsion/ANFO or Heavy
 ANFO blends. 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 SD / ANFO blend density to ensure that equipment
 remains in calibration during loading. • NEVER use TITAN 1000 SD emulsion ANFO blends and Heavy ANFO blends in the
 presence of reactive ground, as defined by the AEISG Elevated Temperature and
 Reactive Ground Code of Practice.

 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.
