Title:

Development of Expansive Mortar for Silent Cracking of Stones

Value Proposition:

Today, underground miners destroy rock using explosives: typically dynamite. Using such devices in underground mines may be extremely dangerous because to fly rock that may be generated by the blast and the sensitivity of these devices, which could cause them to trigger off. These frequently have detrimental effects on the surrounding urban areas and the environment. Expansive mortar or chemical stone cracking powder, expansive grout, and soundless cracking agent are explosive demolition agents. These commercial products are the alternative to explosives and gas pressure blasting products in demolition.
