A unique cost-saving fluid formulated to speed up hole-collaring, reduce collar sloughing and stabilize the total blasthole.
DESCRIPTION
- Used with air-rotary tri-cone, downhole hammers and all types of top hammer drills (surface and underground).
- Reduces REDRILLS.
- Eliminates regrinding of cuttings, thus creating bigger chips for sampling purposes.
- Leaves a sticky, neatly stacked cuttings pile that is not prone to sloughing prior to loading the hole.
- Acts as a dust suppressant and reduces wind blown fines.
- Allows blast holes to be fully loaded, helping to optimize blasting operations.
- Works great with the Matex Fluid Injector!
CONTROL CHEMICAL CAN MODIFY THE FORMULA TO FIT ANY MINE’S DRILLING CONDITIONS AND PROVIDE START-UP AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT.
SUGGESTED DOSAGE:
Product will separate slightly over time. The buckets need to be shaken vigorously before each use.
The approximate mix ratio to achieve tank mix suitable for most drilling and hole conditions is approximately 1.4 Litres of HOLE CONTROL to 1135 Litres of water. This should give you a viscosity increase from 29 (water) to around a 45, which resembles a heavy cream. Naturally acidic water sources will require more Hi – Tech additive to achieve the required viscosity. For very fractured ground mix ratios of 1.0 litre of HOLE CONTROL to 150 litres of water may be required.
