Pentex™ Stopeprime™
Pentex™ Stopeprime™ boosters have been specially designed for use in underground upholes. They consist of a plastic shell filled with a high explosive composition. Two longitudinal tunnels in the boosters are offset to avoid abrasion damage to signal tube or leadwires by the loading hose. At the base of the booster the tunnels are joined by a smooth, curved channel, which protects the detonator signal tube or lead wire from kinking and from sharp and rugged objects.
Additional to the booster is a slip on spider, which allows the Pentex™ Stopeprime™ booster to be easily pushed into the hole, but retains its intended central position in the blasthole.
Pentex™ Stopeprime™ boosters contain Detlok™. Detlok™ securely holds the detonator in place during loading, while still enabling safe removal of the detonator if required.
