NON-EXPLOSIVE DEMOLITION AGENT

Expansive Corporation introduces you to B/ MITE, a non-explosive demolition agent used for fracturing concrete or rock where explosives or hydraulic breakers are not practical. Whether you need expansive concrete demolition or a rock cracking agent, B/ MITE offers controlled demolition. B/ MITE is a by product of cement and requires no licenses or permits and can easily be shipped by normal commercial methods. B/ MITE is durably packaged in a 44lb (20kg) case containing four - 11lb/5kg plastic bags. It is in a form similar to cement, fine gray powder. Personnel wearing safety goggles mix the product with water and pour it into a rock drilled hole. This begins the process of hydration and over a period of 24 hours time, an expansive stress of 6,000 PSI is generated fractures that significantly facilitate secondary removal.
