NITROCORD – detonating cords for rocks can be used in blasting works in underground non-coal and open-pit mines as well as demolition and engineering works.
NITROCORD 8 – methane penthrite detonating cord can be used for blasting operations in mines where there is a risk of coal dust and/or methane explosion.
The detonating cords can be charged into dry and wet holes.
