Flexible energy range
4D™ Extra‑i is designed for surface mines with reactive sulphides or complex geology. Its inhibited formulations support safe, controlled blasting and help maintain compliance and operational continuity.
It provides extended sleep times and consistent energy distribution in reactive ground.
4D™ Extra delivers a wider energy range for surface mines operating in wet, dewatered and dry conditions, helping match energy to variable ground environments.
Available in Fortis™ and Fortan™ variants.

Tried and trusted bulk product brands
Fortis 4D™
Delivered as a pumped emulsion, Fortis 4D™ is designed for wet, dewatered and dry blast holes, providing consistent and reliable blast performance across multiple ground and hole conditions.
Fortan 4D™
Delivered via auger, Fortan 4D™ is designed for dry and dewatered blast holes, offering flexible loading options and reliable blast performance where water is not present.
Aquacharge™ 4D
Delivered via auger, Aquacharge™ 4D is a low‑cost, water‑resistant solution designed for damp, wet and dewatered blast holes. It provides enhanced water resistance compared to traditional heavy ANFO‑type products, with flexible density and energy selection to suit site‑specific requirements.
