Recycled oil emulsion explosives
The use of recycled oil (used/recovered oil often from mining trucks) in an emulsion formulation can cause emulsion destabilisation and increased viscosity, which both lead to handling problems. We have a range of emulsifiers which can help avoid the complications and give more robust and reliable recycled oil emulsions.
Our range of cartridge emulsifiers offer the following benefits:
- excellent long term stability;
- provides improved emulsion viscosity; and
- compatibility with mixed oxidiser systems.

Recommended products
The emulsifiers we recommend for use with recycled oils help to prevent the handling problems associated with destabilisation and increased viscosity emulsions that are often experienced when using recycled oils.
Span™ 80
Span 80 is a biodegradable surfactant based on a natural fatty acid (oleic acid) and sugar alcohol sorbitol. This sorbitan ester is highly effective at forming oil in water emulsions, particularly...
