| With the announcement that
Du Pont planned to withdraw from the dynamite business in
favor of Tovex water gels by the end of 1976, a new chapter
in explosives history was begun. Tovex is the most important
breakthrough in explosives since Dupont started manufacturing
black powder over 170 years ago.
The Dupont plant, technology
and goodwill were purchased by explosives Technology International
(ETI) in 1988. BIAFO is a licencee of ETI in Pakistan and
use the original Dupont formulation and technology including
identical raw material and quality control procedures.
Basically, Tovex offers consumers
a small diameter product that is very effective and equivalent
to dynamite in performance and one that is safer than conventional
dynamite for transporting, storage and handling. Tovex a
complete replacement for dynamite, is being accepted by
blasting experts throughout the country and the world because
Tovex performs equal to or better than dynamite, and it’s
much safer.
In addition:
--> Tovex provides a wide range in borehole densities.
-->Tovex offers improved flexibility in loading.
-->Tovex reduces propagation between holes.
-->Tovex has reliable water resistance.
-->Tovex cuts smoke and noxious fumes.
-->Tovex eliminates nitroglycerin headaches.
The Complete Explosives System
Tovex is packaged
in a number of formulations and in a wide range of convenient
sizes down to one-inch. BIAFO offers a complete explosive
system for above and below ground application … wherever
rock must be broken.
These small-diameter
cartridge water gels combine with conventional electric
to non-electric initiators to comprise an explosives system
with maximum performance and safety. |
