Blasting Solutions
Vistan™
The high-energy solution for dry and dewatered blast holes in surface mining applications.
Optimised performance for surface mining applications.

Optimised performance for surface mining applications.
Vistan™ delivers up to four times the detonation pressure of ANFO. Designed for surface mining, Vistan™ is ideal for dry and dewatered blast holes, providing extra energy to optimise fragmentation and reduce drilling costs.
Features and benefits
Features and benefits
High-energy performance
Vistan™ delivers up to four times the detonation pressure of ANFO, providing exceptional blasting power for improved rock breakage and fragmentation. This high-energy output ensures superior blast results, enabling operations to achieve optimal productivity and efficiency.
Versatile application
Engineered for surface mining, Vistan™ is suitable for both dry and dewatered blast holes. Its adaptability across varying ground conditions makes it a reliable choice for complex mining environments, reducing operational constraints and improving scheduling flexibility.
Optimised fragmentation
The extra energy provided by Vistan™ products can be leveraged to reduce drilling requirements through expanded patterns and improve milling circuit efficiency. Better fragmentation translates into lower crushing costs and enhanced downstream processing performance.
Reactive ground capability
Specialised formulations within the Vistan™ range, such as Vistan™ Si, are designed for hot and reactive ground conditions. These products deliver significantly higher energy where it is most needed, maintaining safety and performance in challenging environments.
Operational flexibility
By providing higher energy and improved blast efficiency, Vistan™ supports expanded drill patterns and optimised mine scheduling. This flexibility allows operations to reduce drilling costs and maximise resource recovery without compromising safety or productivity.
