Technology:

Split Power is an alternative to explosives and other dangerous materials, which applies to granite and marble quarrying, concrete cutting, concrete demolition, rock breaking, mining and so on. Split power material is mixed with water and poured into the holes, it expands with a force over 200Mpa overcoming the tensile strength of any rock or concrete.

Working:

Split Power is a powdery material that expands considerably when mixed with water. This expansion, when occurring under confinement, generates significant expansive pressures. These pressures are sufficient to break up rock and concrete when the Split Power is confined in a borehole or a series of boreholes

The boreholes must be drilled to contain the Split Power. Split Power must be mixed with a measured quantity of water and poured into the boreholes. It will then begin to hydrate, generating heat and crystallizing while hardening and expanding. If hydration takes place under confinement, significant expansive pressure will result. The pressures can be of sufficient magnitude that, after a period of time, they will fracture the confining material. A significant expansive pressure may be generated as quickly as within 30 minutes or as long as within 24 hr.
