TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
TITAN® 1000 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
 TITAN 1000 is an unsensitized, repumpable, bulk emulsion
Unsensitized Bulk Emulsion Matrix matrix specifically formulated for augered mixing with bulk ANFO to manufacture TITAN
 1000 Heavy ANFO blends. TITAN 1000 Heavy ANFO blends with 50% or less emulsion
 are booster sensitive and provide excellent blasting performance in surface blasting
 SDS applications where boreholes are dry or dewatered before loading. The emulsion
 Properties #1052
 percentage of TITAN 1000 Heavy ANFO blends can vary from 5% to 50% to best match
 specific blasting requirements. Refer to the data table at right for the physical properties
 of typical TITAN 1000 Heavy ANFO explosive blends.

 column rises out of the water. Then, and only then, should TITAN 1000 Heavy ANFO
 blend be loaded. At least one additional primer should be positioned in the TITAN
 1000 Heavy ANFO blend column in these situations. • Maximum borehole sleep time for TITAN 1000 Heavy ANFO blends is two (2) weeks. Where geology is wet and extended sleep times are anticipated, ALWAYS limit ANFO
 percentage in TITAN 1000 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 Heavy ANFO in bulk delivery equipment, tanks or
 bins. TITAN 1000 and ANFO should be blended and loaded directly into the borehole. • ALWAYS and only use equipment specially designed to blend and load Heavy ANFO. Ensure safety systems are operational before each use. • NEVER use TITAN 1000 Heavy ANFO blends in the presence of reactive ground, as
 defined by the AEISG Elevated Temperature and Reactive Ground Code of Practice.

 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.
