Neo detonators are manufactured without lead or lead compounds, eliminating these substances from both the product and production process. This significantly reduces health hazards for people working in manufacturing and production environments, supporting safer workplaces and compliance with stringent safety standards.

Neo is designed with sustainability in mind. No lead or lead oxides are released into the environment during use or disposal. For every 10,000 detonators manufactured, we prevent approximately 1 kg of lead from entering the product lifecycle. Additionally, Neo does not contain any Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) as defined by the European REACH regulation, ensuring compliance with global environmental standards.

Neo delivers safe and reliable initiation of explosives across a wide range of blasting conditions. It offers increased output energy (Ref. Det. #4 according to EN-13763-15) and highly accurate delay times, enabling optimum blast performance and improved vibration control. This precision supports better fragmentation, reduced overbreak, and enhanced overall efficiency in mining and construction operations.

Neo supports flexibility across Orica’s initiation systems, both electric and non-electric. This compatibility allows operations to optimise blast design and scheduling without compromising on safety or performance, ensuring consistent results across diverse mining and civil applications.
