| 20120024181 | Loading of Explosives | 02-02-2012 |
| 20110006585 | Mining method - An open cast mining method includes sinking a blasting borehole ( | 01-13-2011 |
| 20100050896 | Detonation of Explosives - A chemical detonator includes a housing, having an open end and a closed end; and a detonation element located in the housing, into which a shock tube for initiating the detonation element intrudes, wherein the housing and the shock tube are of plastics construction and the housing is substantially cylindrical cup shape, and wherein the shock tube intrudes into, and is welded to, the open end to hold the shock tube at a desired spacing from the detonation element. The detonator includes a detonation element that includes a series of charges. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100037999 | MANUFACTURE OF PYROTECHNIC TIME DELAY COMPOSITIONS - A method of manufacturing a pyrotechnic time delay composition includes admixing together a solid oxidizer, a solid fuel and water to form an aqueous slurry. The slurry is transformed into droplets. The droplets are gas-dried to form particles comprising the oxidizer and the fuel, with the particles thus constituting a pyrotechnic delay composition. | 02-18-2010 |
| 20090314397 | PRODUCTION OF PYROTECHNIC DELAY COMPOSITION - A process for producing a pyrotechnic delay composition includes admixing an oxidizer, a fuel, a surfactant and a liquid, to form a paste or slurry. The paste or slurry is dried to remove the liquid and to obtain a solid product which, if necessary, is rendered into particulate form. Optionally, the solid particulate product is classified to obtain a pyrotechnic delay composition in particulate form. | 12-24-2009 |
