Initiation Systems

In Initiation Systems, it all started with the invention of safety fuse and later, the detonator. Then came the introduction of the NONEL® non-electric initiation system. Today, we have a range of detonators that are superior to anything else in the market, including the industry's most advanced electronic initiation systems.


NONEL® LP Series

The NONEL LP detonator is a long period, high strength delay detonator series featuring 19 delays ranging from 25 to 8000 milliseconds. The NONEL LP detonator has the highest explosive output available in commercial detonators and provides increased water hammer resistance in blasting applications where saturated ground conditions exist.

NONEL® MS Series

The NONEL MS detonator is a millisecond, high strength delay detonator series featuring 28 delays ranging from 25 to 1000 milliseconds. The NONEL MS detonator can be used as a starter line or used in conjunction with NONEL Lead Line to initiate blasts.

NONEL® MS Connector

The NONEL MS Connector is a surface delay detonator series featuring 6 standard delays.

NONEL® Lead Line

NONEL Lead Line is a reel-off NONEL tube system used as a lead-in line where large firing distances are required to provide greater clearance between the firing point and blast.

Please note: NONEL Lead Line is also known as NONEL Extendaline.

Detonating Cord

Used in combination with NONEL MS Connectors, the Detonating Cord provides a safe, quick and reliable method of initiation. The Primaline® 10 Detonating Cord consists of a cotton core, covered by a continuous core of PETN explosive bound in nylon fibres, a plastic sheath. The Primacord® 5 cord is wrapped in a colour coded high strength synthetic textile. Nominal core loads are 10 g/m and 5 g/m.

Electric Detonators

This is a safe and accurate electric detonator with a strength rating of No. 8. The detonator is of the NPED-type, in which the primary explosive has been replaced with a secondary explosive.  This gives increased safety in handling.

NONEL® EZTL

The NONEL EZTL Initiation System is a low strength surface detonator series used in conjunction with the NONEL MS Series to provide flexible, easy-to-use surface initiation in mining and construction applications.

NONEL® Starter

NONEL® Starter is used as a lead-in line from a safe firing position to the blasting location.  A NONEL Starter consists of a length of NONEL tube sealed at one end and a NONEL UB Connector attached at the other end.
