Blasting Solutions
4D™ Extra-i
Flexible energy control for every blast.
Adaptable energy for complex geology and reactive ground.
Adaptable energy for complex geology and reactive ground.
By shifting from density‑based to energy‑based design, the system allows engineers to tailor explosive energy hole by hole to match geology and blast objectives—without changing products.
With inhibited formulations designed for reactive ground, 4D™ Extra‑i supports safe, reliable blast execution while maintaining high‑energy performance across wet, dewatered and dry conditions.
