SAFETY PREVENTION AGAINST BLOW-OUT-SHOTS

• CALCIUM HYDROXIDE C2 is a highly alkaline product; PH reaches 13 after contact with water and can cause severe irritation to mucous membranes, especially eyes.
• Wear safety goggles, rubber gloves and helmet during CALCIUM HYDROXIDE C2 handling, mixing and filling.
• Wear a dustproof mask when using CALCIUM HYDROXIDE C2 in poorly ventilated areas such as tunnels or mines.
• Do not get your face close to or stand near filled holes for at least 3 hours after filling completion.
• Keep people away from job site after filling.
• Shelter the holes from rain or sunlight only with a cloth or a plastic sheet.
• Skin contact with CALCIUM HYDROXIDE C2 must be rinsed off with large amounts of cold water immediately.
• Eye contact with CALCIUM HYDROXIDE C2 must be rinsed off with large amounts of cold water immediately.
• Keep out of reach of children.

CHECKLIST BEFORE YOUR STIRRING

• What is water temperature? __________(°C)
• What is drill hole diameter? __________(cm)
• Have you measured extra water if rock/concrete is above 22°? _____
• Are you going to throw a trap over the filled holes? ______
• Many minutes is cost to fill the hole fully? _______

CALCIUM HYDROXIDE C2 PROVIDE THE MOST TECHNICALLY SUITABLE AND COST-EFFECTIVE SOLUTION FOR QUARRING AND CONSTRUCTION.

• Restricted demolition of rock and concrete structures where nearby structures must be protected from shock waves generated by explosive.
• Pre-splitting of rock formation, to create isolated blocks that can then be more easily demolished.
• Cutting blocks of marble and granite more economically than with the traditional helicoidally wire-cutting method.
• Excavations and demolition of rock formations or cement/concrete structures where the use of explosives would be the expensive due to long operating times, special transport, storage and handling precautions and the need to comply with public safety regulations.
• Production can be significantly increased as it can be continuously conducted safely.
• Stopping width can be easily controlled, as there is no waste to deal with, Mining operations can be conducted in a working environment unhampered by flying debris-making cleaning-up unnecessary.
• Efforts are concentrated on exploiting the ore-or precious stones-bearing reef-a factor, which is most important in marginal situations.
• The product is ideal for the mining of emeralds and other precious stones, as brittle material is not destroyed or broken up.
• CALCIUM HYDROXIDE C2 has a shelf-life of 1 year, thus obviating problems associated with out-of-date material as may be the case with explosives and detonator fuse.
• We believe hoisting operations can be minimized, significantly reducing electricity and maintenance costs.
• Mines employing only Intrachem easy crack would not need to evacuate personnel from the shaft before blasting. Labor can therefore be more productively and cost-effectively employed, thus safeguarding jobs. Because of the all-round saving, particularly in the areas of labor, winching, electricity maintenance and cleaning, many marginal mines could avoid closure via the use of Intrachem easy crack.
