20kg Rock Breaking Chemical
Regular price R 826.09
This is an innovative non-explosive rock breaking chemical. A silent demolition technology in the form of an expanding mortar or grout.
This rock breaking chemical is supplied in the form of a powder, this powder when mixed with water forms a mortar or grout which gradually expands as it dries.
The expanding mortar produces a force of up to 18000 psi (or 1241 bar), as it cracks and breaks, rock, concrete, reinforced concrete, stone etc.
Applications
Rock Breaking
Boulder Cracking
Concrete Splitting
Swimming Pool Excavations
Hard Landscaping
Reinforced Concrete Demolition
Foundation & Structure Demolition
Site Clearing / Preparation
DRILLING:
Drill holes to the requirements of design using an air compressor and rock drill 28mm to 40mm in diameter, with a minimum depth of 400mm.
The hole spacing must be 200 to 400mm apart, depending on rock /concrete strength, and must be drilled in a honey-comb type pattern.
To obtain a required depth in bed rock, drill to 105% of level, and to break boulders, drill to 80% of the boulder height.
MIXING:
Expansive mortar must be thoroughly mixed with clean cold water before use. The required volume is 1.5 liters of water into a clean bucket, then gradually add one 5kg bag of Expansive Mortar.
Do not use hot water.
Stir until you obtain smooth lump-free slurry.
Use only open pails or containers for mixing. Narrow necked containers must not be used. Avoid adding extra water, as this may reduce concentration and effectiveness of the mix.
SAFETY WARNING
Expansive Mortar
PRODUCT CONTAINS CALCIUM OXIDE (LIME)
CONTACT OF THE POWDER WITH WATER WILL
RESULT IN THE PRODUCTION OF LARGE AMOUNTS
OF HEAT AND POSSIBLY STEAM. IN CONFINED SITUATIONS THIS WILL ALSO CREATE HIGH PRESSURES. RISK OF BURNS TO EYES OR SKIN.
Health Risk:
Risk of serious eye damage due to the alkaline nature of this product. Material gets hot after adding water, increasing the risk of damage to eyes. Product may cause skin irritation if left on skin. Inhalation of dust may irritate respiratory system or lungs. Repeated or prolonged inhalation exposure may aggravate asthma and lead to inflammatory pulmonary disease.
Safety in use:
1. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Avoid inhalation of dust. If accidental contact occurs, wash of powder immediately. If working in a confined area, ensure adequate ventilation. Wear long sleeved shirt, long trousers and use personal protective equipment if at risk of exposure to powder, slurry or dust.
2. Use approved safety goggles and gloves when mixing and filling.
3. Wear dust mask if working in a confined area.
4. Do not use hot water for mixing.
5. Do not put mixed slurry into bottles or cans, this could lead to blow-outs with glass or metal fragments.
6. Do not look into filled holes, and cover them with a cloth sheet until reaction is completed.
First Aid:
Swallowed: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.
IF UNCONCIOUS DO NOT GIVE FLUIDS TO DRINK.
If conscious get affected person to drink large volumes of water to dilute the chemical. Obtain medical advice. Provide rest, warmth and fresh air.
Eye contact: Promptly wash eyes with plenty of water while lifting eye lids. Continue to rinse for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if redness or irritation develops.
