RIOGEL TRONER XE

RIOGEL TRONER XE is the result of the most advanced developments in watergel technology. RIOGEL TRONER XE is a high strength, high density cap sensitive watergel. The gel structure gives the product a rubber-like tough consistency and outstanding water resistance. RIOGEL TRONER XE is manufactured in a variety of cartridge sizes to satisfy the needs of all blasting applications

ADVANTAGES

Higher bulk energy than emulsions.
Good aging, no crystallisation.
Highly water resistant.
Wide variety of applications..
Highest energy available within MAXAMs range of watergels.
Water and abrasion resistant.

The combination of a very high density and energy gives RIOGEL TRONER XE a very high bulk energy making this product an ideal choice for hard rock blasting in quarries, mining and construction. RIOGEL TRONER XE can also be used in priming applications, bottom charges, and as a high energy column explosive.

Water resistance allows its use in wet boreholes. Do not use in flammable or methane atmospheres. This product is detonator and RIOCORD 12 g/m sensitive. The temperature of this product should be within the range of –10ºC and +60ºC. For further information consult the Use Recommendations Sheet included inside the boxes or packaging of the product and its respective Material Safety Data Sheet.

USE: RIOGEL TRONER XE should be used, handled and stored with care, ensuring the product is kept away from flames and excessive heat sources.
