BLASTSHIELD™

Blasthole liners provide an impermeable barrier between the explosives and the environment keeping contaminants from ingressing into the explosives and from explosives seeping into the environment.

In combination with engineered explosive formulations, blasthole lining provides a solution to blasting related environmental issues.

BLASTSHIELD™
CONVENTIONAL
APPLICATION
