PowerNel Range

PowerNel 1000

An unsensitized bulk emulsion developed to be used as the base product for sensitized bulk emulsions.  PowerNel™ 1000 must be blended with ANFO mixtures in various proportions to achieve the required detonation properties.

Best used when:  Dry or wet hole applications. Superior quality as a base product for sensitized bulk emulsions.

PowerNel 1000 NBG

Providing maximum energy control, PowerNel™ 1000 NBG can be sensitized with chemical gassing to custom hole densities to match blast design parameter, providing more applied energy. PowerNel™ 1000 NBG can also be used in combination with ANFO in various proportions to meet individual blasting needs.

Best used when: Dry or wet hole applications. Superior quality and flexibility by tailoring densities to match geology.

PowerNel 1000 FG

Manufactured with high-quality ingredients, PowerNel™ 1000 FG is well-suited for use in environmentally sensitive areas. For custom borehole density design, PowerNel™ 1000 FG can be sensitized by chemical gassing to densities designed to provide maximum energy control.

Best used when: Environmentally sensitive areas are being blasted.

PowerNel 1500

Can tackle light production to heavy cast blasting.  PowerNel™1500 has proven to have reliable, consistent, and powerful performance under the most demanding conditions of open-pit mining and construction.

Best used when: Dry or wet hole applications with a bore hole diameter of 3” or larger. 

PowerNel 2500

Provides more applied energy with minimum NOX and CO emissions. PowerNel™ 2500 exhibist improved pumping characteristics. For custom hole density design, PowerNel™ 2500 can be combined with gassing technology for maximum energy control.

Best used when: Custom hole densites for the right energy profile and maximum energy control.

PowerNel 2500 NBG

Versatile bulk emulsion providing more applied energy with minimum NOx and CO emissions.  PowerNel™ 2500 NBG can be gassed to densities designed to provide maximum energy control. PowerNel ™ 2500 NBG can also be used in combination with ANFO in various proportions to meet individual blasting needs.

Best used when: Dry or wet hole applications. Superior quality and flexibility by tailoring densities to match geology.

PowerNel 2500 UG

For custom borehole density design, PowerNel™ 2500 UG can be combined with our gassing technology for maximum energy control. PowerNel™ 2500 UG is formulated to exhibit improved pumping characteristics suitable for both underground and specialty surface applications.

Best used when: Underground and specialty surface applications are required delivering maximum energy control.
