Spex•Lite® Solid Air for Explosives: EPS, EPP and PVDC

---

 SPEX•LITE® 5510 Solid Air is compatible with Diesel Fuel, opening up possibilities and cost reduction opportunities as a lightweight fill for explosives.

 SPEX•LITE® Solid Air is up to 95% air content, which provides many unique advantages as a lightweight additive in emulsion systems.

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

With a bulk density as low as ~0.75 pounds per cubic foot (pcf),  SPEX•LITE® 6503 EPS Solid Air will significantly decrease the cost and weight of industrial explosive systems.

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

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

Case studies using Spex•Lite® Solid Air demonstrate that less holes are required per blast, saving both time and money as a lightweight fill for explosives companies.

Spex•Lite® can be conveniently stored regardless of weather conditions and Spex•Lite® can be handled either pneumatically or mechanically.

Spex•Lite® 5510 (black bead) is compatible with diesel fuel, whereas EPS / polystyrene (white) has compatibility challenges as a filler for Diesel Fuel Explosives. Whichever you need, SpexLite has both!

Traditional ANFO prills are hazardous both to ship and to handle. Spex•Lite® Solid Air does not require hazardous shipping and handling surcharges.

Conventional Prills provide warnings of potential build-up on shipping and storage containers. Spex•Lite® Lightweight Fill doesn't contribute to traditional residue buildup.

Conventional ANFO prills weigh ~45 - 55 pcf. Spex•Lite® Solid Air EPS, EPP and PVDC products weigh between ~0.75 - 10 pcf and they do not tend to break down during transit.
