BLASTING SOLUTIONS

Cerax produces a range of wax blends for the production of cartridge mining explosives, these are optimised to provide the perfect medium for stable, water-in-wax emulsions. The Cerapack blends can be altered to create specific rheologies and cartridge stiffness. Available in both slab and pastille form.

For bulk emulsion blasting solutions, Cerax is a market leader in the supply of liquid bulk rheology modifiers, also known as viscosity improvers. Tailormade for individual customer requirements, our capacity allows us to process hard to handle additives into bespoke wax blends to meet the desired specifications.

Each formulation is considered against the customer’s processing method, required handling characteristics and finished-product performance. This application-led approach helps define the most suitable wax blend, physical form and rheology profile for a specific production environment. Cerax can support discussions around blend selection, processing behaviour and the practical requirements of cartridge or bulk emulsion manufacture. By combining wax blending experience with controlled solidification options, we provide a focused supply route for manufacturers seeking consistent material characteristics and a solution developed around their operational specifications.
