SEL-MEX

SEL-MEX is a trade name of an explosive based on ammonium nitrate and mineral oil.

  • SEL-MEX is a trade name of an explosive based on ammonium nitrate and mineral oil.

  • The SEL-MEX has proven its efficiency in mining and quarrying works.

  • Thanks to the high detonation speed and its sensitivity to operation by detonator is serves as a primer for initiating main explosive (SEL-MIT in bulk).

​

Use of SEL-MEX

  • Mining and quarrying works in which explosives with high energy are required for rock crushing.

  • Mining and quarrying works, in which explosive with high detonation speed and sensitivity to operation by detonator is required, for initiating the main explosive (SEL-MIT).

  • Mining and quarrying works where water resistant explosive is required.

  • Underground mining and quarrying works of horizontal drilling.

  • In underwater explosions, SEL-MEX is resistant to hydrostatic pressure of up to 100 meters.

  • The high detonation speed and the high gas volume ensure good crushing and removal of stone.

  • Under ordinary storage conditions, the explosive properties of the SEL-MEX do not change for one year from the date of production.

​

Benefits

  • SEL-MEX serves as main explosive at quarrying works of small diameter.

  • SEL-MEX stands out for its high-water resistance.

  • SEL-MEX is packed in plastic cartridges.

  • The good oxygen balance and the plastic shape of the SEL-MEX enable efficient use at underground works and horizontal drillings.
