Show NEW GIANT EXPLOSIVE ave THAT CANNOT CANN OT FREEZE the giant powder company con san francisco calif has succeeded in producing a nonfreezing non freezing freelin t explosive the qualities of which are of such distinctive type that it is bound to be welcomed eagerly by all blasting operators and especially by those who do cold weather blasting briefly the qualifications of giant nonfreezing may be stated as follows 1 five grades for every blasting requirement 2 cannot freeze at any temperature 3 withstands the heat of summer 4 its stability avoids premature explosions nothing weaker than a no 6 blasting cap should be used ot detonate it 5 will not cause headaches to those who use and handle it 6 made in all standard size cartridges five 0 grades rades this means that there is sufficient variety to meet every blasting requirement qui rement in order to determine which is the proper grade for a particular piece of 0 work it is advised that the consumer consult with the giant powder company and state exactly what the nature of the work is and what results are desired the corn com banys service division which consists of men with expert knowledge and years of experience peri ence in the use of explosives will recommend after making careful investigation the grade which will bring gibout about the maximum results I 1 cannot freeze there is a volume of significance ance in this qualification we can get an idea of what this means by reminding ourselves of the difficulties that the users of explosives must overcome when blasting in cold weather if the temperature of the atmosphere mo sphere is forty degrees or lower a stick of dynamite becomes a dangerous substance no one is foolhardy kool hardy enough to attempt to use chilled or frozen dynamite until he has thawed it completely many hazardous methods of thawing dynamite are being followed by blasters the most common is by setting the sticks on end in front of an open fire another is by placing the sticks in warm water other methods are to put the dynamite near or under stones or boilers or on top of boilers it is wrong even to suggest any of these methods because they are extremely dangerous for reasons that are too numerous to mention there is only one safe way of thawing frozen dynamite and that is in following the methods recommended by the explosive manufacturers cannot freeze applied to this new giant explosive gives positive assurance of an explosive which can neither be chilled nor frozen and which can be used and handled with no decrease in its effectiveness in weather when the temperature is below zero here here at last is an explosive which denes defies all degrees Z of cold or heat in which man may live to change or effect its ingredients all its qualities remain continually at the same high standard in the heat of summer as well as in the extreme cold of winter because of this fact thawing or doctoring is not necessary and should not be attempted with giant nonfreezing non freezing these distinctions are of special importance to quarries which continue their blasting during the winter months no thought of might freeze is ever associated with giant nonfreezing non freezing no need to worry about the possibilities of a misfire or a poor shot on account of chilled or frozen dynamite no need of taking the risk of inefficient loading t which usually happens when the explosive charges must be placed for fear of chilling but the qualifications of giant nonfreezing non freezing do not end here no premature explosions this feature is is indicative of the great stability of giant nonfreezing it requires a no 6 blasting cap to detonate it successful successfully lp that means that no ordinary blow or shakeup can be the cause of an explosion moreover this stability remains unaltered and the explosive charge c 1 ia re 6 is always in perfect condition for effective detonation no headaches this is a feature which particularly those who handle and use ordinary dynamite can appreciate for in the majority of cases men experience a throbbing headache as a result of handling dyna diate because glint giant non freeze will not cause headaches the good will and cheerful spirit of the men who handle it are retained every superintendent knows how bow vitally irn this feature is |
