Superdyne
Explosives Division of GULF OIL Corporation Ltd. manufactures
Superdyne, a high strength cap-sensitive aluminized
slurry explosive suitable for use in most types of blasting
applications using small and medium diameter drillholes of
32 mm to 110 mm. Its high strength and high velocity of
detonation ensures good fragmentation in hard strata and
Superdyne gives excellent blast results in quarrying, underground
stoping, road cutting, canal excavation and secondary
blasting. Superdyne is highly suitable for tunneling,
underground excavations in civil construction and seismic
prospecting work.
Superior rigid gel enables cutting of cartridges without
causing any spillage of gel. Rigid gel also ensures good
handling and poses no difficulty in loading upward facing
drillholes. The superior gel structure ensures that the strength
and sensitivity are retained when stored for long periods.
Special Features
- Does NOT contain any explosive ingredients.
- Does NOT contain any headache causing ingredients.
- Relatively insensitive to accidental initiation due to
impact, friction and fire. Hence very safe during handling,
usage, transportation and storage.
- High strength and high velocity of detonation (VOD)
ensures good blast results.
- Excellent water resistance - can be used in watery
boreholes.
- Excellent fume characteristics - upon detonation generates
very low levels of toxic after-blast fumes.
- Superior gel structure eliminates possibility of leakage
during the recommended shelf life. Upon long storage,
product becomes innocuous, and thus safe.

Precautions
- Do NOT subject explosives and detonators to impact,
friction or fire.
- NEVER force a detonator into explosive cartridge. Always
use pricker made of non-sparking material to pierce the
wrapper while priming.
- Do NOT attempt to alter the composition of the explosive.
- Do NOT tamp the primer cartridge, as it contains
a detonator.
- During charging, ensure cartridges are charged in a
continuous column in the drillhole.
- In below ground applications, ensure adequate dilution of
blast fumes before entering the work area.
- Do NOT carry out charging of explosives during an
approaching storm and lightning activity in the blast area.
Vacate the blast area and resume operations only after the
storm has passed.
- Do NOT attempt to fight explosive fires
