DAYAGEL MILITARY

DAYAGEL MILITARY is a ammonium nitrate based explosive that is specialized form of explosive material. Especially designed formulation generate high levels of energy, high strength and

robust detonator sensitive emulsion explosive. The product is gray in colors with a firm putty-like consistency.

SAFETY

While sensitive to initiation by a No. 8 detonator, DAYAGEL MILITARY has a very low mechanical impact sensitivity. This impact insensitivity criterion is a very important safety feature.

If exposed to fire, DAYAGEL MILITARY will self extinguish unless a vigorous external source of heat is applied. Whilst DAYAGEL MILITARY does not burn easily, it should be kept clear of flame or excessive heat.

If DAYAGEL MILITARY whilst remnants are to be destroyed by burning, advice on the correct method should be sought from DAHANA Engineering Center located at DAHANA offices, or from the local explosives statutory authority.

APPLICATIONS

DAYAGEL MILITARY is a water resistant packaged explosive for special purposes such as:

• Military and commercial demolition operation
• On site loading of user filled demolition charges
• General demolition purposes ranging from the most basic to very sophisticated tasks

STORAGE AND HANDLING

Store DAYAGEL MILITARY in well ventilated magazine suitably licenced for 1.1 D Explosives. Store far away from sources of heat or ignition of another chemicals. Do not subject the product to impact and friction.

DAYAGEL MILITARY has storage life in excess of 12 months in an approved magazine even in hot or extreme humidity.
