Description
Guar gum powder acts as a cohesive agent
Binding the explosive particles together and ensuring a consistent and controlled release of energy upon detonation. This property is crucial for safe and effective blasting operations in mining. It works effectively as a gelling agent for both pumpable slurry explosives and gell sausage-type explosives. The manufacturing of water-resistant ammonium nitrate stick explosives uses guar gum as a binding agent.
More Useful Applications
- As a regulator in Viscosity of fluid in mining.
- As a suspension and stabilization in drilling and explosives.
- As a Water retention agent in mining
