Potassium Pyroantimonate
Cross Linker for Slurry Based Explosives
Shiv Hydromet is largest manufacturer and market leader of Potassium Pyroantimonate in India with own brand SIPPA® - P (Powder Potassium Pyroantimonate) and SIPPA® - L (Liquid Potassium Pyroantimonate).
Potassium Pyroantimonate Powder: SIPPA® - P
Potassium Pyroantimonate is the best choice for the cross-linker of packaged water gel or slurry system explosives. It delays gelation time, so the solids can be easily dispersed and give enough time for packing. It becomes complete gel after packing. Using an antimony based cross linker has been proven to improve stability and consistency of the explosive slurry, thermo chemical energy efficiency, safety degree in high velocity impact testes, velocity of detonation and water resistance.
Potassium Pyroantimonate Liquid: SIPPA® - L
With our in-house developed manufacturing route, we overcame the difficulties encounter in making PPA soluble. Sippa-L is liquid antimony cross-linker system. It is used as alternative of Potassium Pyroantimonate powder.
It is completely miscible in water, which gives flexibility in gelling time, also allows to use higher PPA concentration.
Liquid Antimony cross-linker system can be used same as PPA powder with corrected PPA equivalency.
