EPC-UK
currently supply Seguridad 20SR a Group P5 Permitted explosives. Group
P5 explosives are designed for blasting coal off the solid when used in
conjunction with short delay detonators.
Permitted explosives are designed primarily for
use in coal mines, where the presence of explosives gases and dust
represents a serious blasting hazard.
All permitted explosives must pass a stringent series of tests before
being approved for use underground in a coalmine. These products
contain a flame depressant additive which reduces the volume, duration
and temperature of the explosion's flame. As a result, permitted
explosives are less energetic than other explosives and have a lower
rock breaking capability.
The classification of Seguridad is UN 0081 and
hazard class / compatibility group is 1.1D.
