Shagun Prime
Shagun Prime is an advanced gel slurry explosive, sensitive to caps and formulated with ammonium nitrate, specifically designed for surface mining and quarry blasting operations. This powerful explosive enhances the effectiveness of non-capsensitive explosives, as well as ANFO. Its gel-like consistency and high loading density deliver optimal energy to break the surrounding rock. Additionally, its innovative packaging ensures water resistance and provides a high level of safety against mechanical impacts and friction. Due to its water compatibility, Shagun Prime can be easily utilised in watery boreholes, making it an excellent choice for various blasting scenarios.
