What are the Attributes of Solid Air?

Diesel Compatibility

 SPEX•LITE® 5510 Solid Air  is compatible with Diesel Fuel, opening up possibilities and cost reduction opportunities.

Up To 98% Air Content

 SPEX•LITE® Solid Air is up to 98% air content, which provides many unique advantages as a lightweight additive in emulsion systems.

Cost Reduction

As an ultra efficient volume filler, SPEX•LITE® Solid Air's volume cost saves customers material and freight costs in almost every instance.

Weight Reduction

With a bulk density of ~0.9 pounds per cubic foot (pcf),  SPEX•LITE® 5510 Solid Air will significantly decrease the weight of ANFO systems.

Absorbs Minimal Liquid

SPEX•LITE® Solid Air may reduce the amount of liquid potentially absorbed in an emulsion system, which can lead to improved blast results.

Rounded Shape

SPEX•LITE® Solid Air has a rounded shape, which promotes flow of an ANFO emulsion system when it's being pumped.

SpexLite Advantages WITH CONVENTIONAL AN Prills

Improved Efficiency

Fireworks

Case studies using SpexLite Solid Air demonstrate that less holes are required per blast, saving both time and money.

Storage & Handling

Stockroom

SpexLite can be conveniently stored regardless of weather conditions and SpexLite can be handled either pneumatically or mechanically.

Diesel Compatibility

Spex•Lite® Diesel Fuel Comparison

Spex•Lite® 5510 (black bead) is compatible with diesel fuel, whereas polystyrene (white) has compatibility challenges.

Non-Hazardous

Caution Sign

Traditional ANFO prills are hazardous both to ship and to handle. SpexLite Solid Air does not require hazardous shipping and handling surcharges.

Negligible Build-up

Bricklaying

Conventional Prills provide warnings of potential build-up on shipping and storage containers. SpexLite doesn't contribute to residue buildup.

Decreased Weight

Hot Air Balloon

Conventional ANFO prills weigh ~45 - 55 pcf. SpexLite Solid Air weighs between ~0.9 - 15 pcf and it doesn't tend to break down during transit.

Get More Bang For Your Buck

Spex•Lite® Offers More for Less

  • Compatibility with diesel fuel
  • Decreased volume cost of overall ANFO system (in most cases)
  • Improved blast efficiency (fewer holes required, in most cases)
  • Decreased system weight
  • Decreased water absorption 
  • Reduced build-up
