Houston, Texas (USA), November 20, 2012 – Clariant Mining will exhibit its advanced mining solutions and expertise at the 10th International Symposium on Rock Fragmentation by Blasting, “FRAGBLAST 10” in New Delhi, India, from November 24-29, 2012.
Clariant has developed a new range of high performance emulsifiers for bulk explosive emulsions and packaged explosives. These new products provide consistently reliable emulsions with key benefits such as long-term stability against thermal and mechanical stress and constant cap sensitivity. Marketed under the trade name ARKOMON®, these new emulsifiers are formulated with high quality PIBSA (polyisobutylene succinic anhydride) derivatives and novel sorbitan esters and phosphate esters.
Clariant technicians are able to recommend specific emulsifiers based on the explosive producer’s requirements. Clariant has laboratories in Australia, Europe and North America where application specific testing can be carried out for producers of explosives. The Clariant exhibit will be located at booth 26 in Group A.
