Kemiitti 810 is a chemically sensitised emulsion explosive. The product is manufactured from emulsion matrix at the charging site and pumped through a hose directly into the borehole. The product is charged by pumping it into up-, down- and horizontal boreholes using tailor-made charging units. The product sensitises into a finished explosive within 10 to 30 minutes of charging.
K810 UG is suitable for all kinds of applications in underground excavation, especially in those operations that require quick charging and/or good water resistance. The product is grease-like in consistency and white or yellowish in colour. The raw materials for Kemiitti 810 UG (matrix and gassing agent) are delivered to the customer in transport tanks or IBCs. Local regulations must be taken into consideration when using Kemiitti 810 UG.
There is a Kemiitti 810 UG product designed specifically for charging up-holes under the name Kemiitti 810 UGX. Its explosive properties, handling and storage instructions are the same as for the K810 UG product, but the K810 UGX emulsion is excellent for sticking to up-holes thanks to a component added to the matrix.
