B/ MITE
Expansive Corporation introduces you to B/ MITE, a non-explosive
demolition agent used for fracturing concrete or rock where explosives
or hydraulic breakers are not practical. B/ MITE is a by product
of cement and requires no licenses or permits and can easily be
shipped by normal commercial methods. B/ MITE is durably packaged
in a 44lb (20kg) case containing four - 11lb/5kg plastic bags. It
is in a form similar to cement, fine gray powder. Personnel wearing
safety goggles mix the product with water and pour it into a rock
drilled hole. This begins the process of hydration and over a period
of 24 hours time, an expansive stress of 6,000 PSI is generated
fractures that significantly facilitate secondary removal.
