Kemiitti 510

Kemiitti 510 and 610 are bulk-emulsion explosives developed for open-cut excavations. We deliver Kemiitti bulk-emulsion products to the worksite directly pumped into the boreholes. Diverse charging services can also be provided by Forcit, when doing charging and blasting work on excavation site.

Kemiitti provides benefits because of its high charging degree, smaller number of drilling meters, and the speed of the charging work. The drill holes do not have to be dry, because the Kemiitti products are fully water resistant; when pumped, they replace the water in a borehole.

Due to the modern equipment technique, the emulsion will sensitize into a ready explosive when sensitizing substances are added to it during the pumping process.

It is possible to adjust the properties of the Kemiitti products during the charging work, in accordance with the requirements of the work site, for example, by adding solid ammonium nitrate prills one can expand the gas volume of the explosive agent. Furthermore, the cover height can be determined per hole.

Kemiitti products are only manufactured in batches matching the amount needed at a worksite. Careful charging and the insolubility of Kemiitti products result in a low environmental load, and there are no packaging materials to dispose of after using Kemiitti. The need for explosives stored in the worksite, and transporting of explosive are considerably diminished.

Kemiitti 510 emulsion is fully produced from raw material solutions in a charging vehicle at the charging location. Kemiitti 510 explosive is also available without prills, if needed. Kemiitti 510 is delivered from the Urjala, Talvivaara, and Vihtavuori service points, no more than 12 tons at a time.
