HOW TO USE HSCA


High range soundless cracking agent is a soundless and environmentally safe, non explosive demolition agent. It does not cause any flyrock, noise, ground vibration, gas, dust or environmental pollution. It creates systematic cracking in rock and concrete making secondary breaking easier and quicker to complete.

As shown in the picture above, below we provide instructions for this

(Please be sure to follow the instructions and always wear safety goggles when using the product)

① Notice: please choose the right product model based on the local air and water temperature. There 4 models as below for reference:

Type Temperature
I 25°C – 40°C
II 10°C – 25 °C
III -5°C – 10°C
IV 40°C – 55°C

② Quantity of HIGH RANGE SOUNDLESS CRACKING AGENT used per 1m depth of hole diameters:

Hole Diameter (mm) High range soundless cracking agent(Kg/m)
32 1.3
34 1.5
36 1.7
38 1.9
40 2.1

The following is a description of the hole diameter

● Hole spacing and Hole depth:

Hole spacing will vary depending on the type of rock boulder or concrete etc. to be removed. The following tables provide guidelines to work from.

Hole depth

Kind of object Hole depth
Rock / Boulder 80% of height
Concrete 90% of height

Hole spacing

Rock Hole spacing
Hard Virgin Rock 40 – 60 cm
Soft Virgin Rock 50 – 70 cm
Concrete Hole spacing
Unreinforced Concrete 40 – 70 cm
Reinforced Concrete 20 – 40 cm (dependent on quantity of Re-bars)

● Hole diameter:

In all cases the minimum hole diameter should be 32mm. The larger the hole diameter is, the greater the expansive stress becomes. The hole size however is recommended to be no greater than 40mm diameter.

1

10-20 Ltr metal or plastic bucket.

2

Measuring beaker
