Best Practices to Use Split Power:

    • Make sure you select the correct temperature specific to the weather.
    • In order to obtain best results, it’s advisable to carry out experiment at first.
    • When using SPLIT POWER with highly absorbent materials like concrete, the holes should be dampened before the mortar is poured, making sure however, that there is no presence of water.
    • Large diameter holes positioned closer together accelerate breaking times.
    • Make sure the holes are clean and no water and residues left in the holes, or use high-pressure air hose to clean out.
    • Fresh mortar should be poured into holes within 5 minutes after mixing.
    • Do not mix more than 2 bags ( 10 kg ) for each lot at a time.
    • The feeding depth should be 100% of the pre-drilled holes.
    • The workers need to take synchronized operation, especially to hard stone. The quantity of holes each worker responsible to fill has to be moderate. Taking synchronized steps when mixing, stirring and filling will lead to maximum expansive stress with all holes expand at the same time.
    • Never use glass or metal containers for mixing.
    • When mixing, if SPLIT POWER begins to steam in container, add some water to dilute and process properly.
    • Cover holes to avoid direct sunlight. Example a tarp to provide shade or wet hay.

Safety and Material Handling:

Safety:

  • Make sure that everyone working with split power understands the possibility of blowouts, and has read the technical instructions thoroughly.
  • Split Power is a highly alkaline product, pH reaches 13 after contact with water and can cause severe irritation to mucous membranes, especially eyes. Skin and eye contacts with split power must be rinsed off with large amounts of cold water immediately without rubbing. Consult a doctor quickly.
  • Wear safety goggles and rubber gloves during SPLIT POWER handling, mixing and filling. Dust-proof mask is recommended in poorly ventilated areas such as tunnels or mines.
  • Plug the holes immediately after filling and cover the holes with straw mat. Keep your face away from the holes filled by mortar. Stay away from filled holes at least 3 hours after filling to avoid blow-out shot. Keep people away from job site after filling.
  • Warm or bubbling mortar is forbidden to fill into holes. Once filled holes start to smoke or steam, that is the sign they may be about to blow out. Clear the area of people immediately.
  • Keep people away from jobsite after filling holes. In case of people have to remain in the area, cover filled holes with a tarpaulin.
  • Take care of fall of cracked block from the cracking object.
