What is Centra Protect™ used for?
Centra Protect™ is used in quarrying and construction blasting to help reduce nitrate leaching and minimise post-blast fumes while maintaining performance.

How does Centra Protect™ reduce nitrate risk?
It is formulated to reduce the mobility of nitrates, helping limit their migration into groundwater after blasting.

Can Centra Protect™ be used in wet conditions?
Yes, it is designed for reliable performance in both wet and dry blastholes.

|Does Centra Protect™ eliminate post-blast fumes?
It is designed to reduce visible fumes, but outcomes depend on geology, blast design and loading practices.

What industries benefit most from Centra Protect™?
Quarrying, construction and civil infrastructure operations where nitrate management and environmental performance are priorities.

How is Centra Protect™ delivered on site?
It is manufactured on demand and pumped directly into blastholes using mobile manufacturing systems.

Is Centra Protect™ suitable for all ground conditions?
It performs in a wide range of conditions but is not recommended for reactive ground; site-specific guidance is advised.

Do I still need a nitrate risk strategy if using Centra Protect™?
Yes, it should be used as part of a broader nitrate risk reduction approach including assessment, monitoring and optimisation.

Are there other products available in the Protect range?
Yes. The Protect range includes Fortis™ Protect, designed to reduce environmental impact across different blasting applications in the Surface Coal, Surface Metal and Iron Ore industries.
