Strict observation of the correct volume of water is very important when using BETONAMIT, so as to ensure that the non-explosive cracking agent can produce the maximum pressure. It matters not if it is a concrete demolition, rock cutting or other type of rock breaking. The optimal mixing ratio is 1.0 litre of water to 5 kg of BETONAMIT (34 oz / 11 lbs). The water content can be increased up to 1.2 litre / 5 kg (40 oz / 11 lbs) in order to achieve improved fluidity, especially for very deep boreholes, or to facilitate the mixing process.
