Since its development in the 1980s, emulsion explosives have largely displaced the use of other explosives in the commercial market worldwide.
The advantages of this technology over conventional explosives (e.g. dynamite) are:
o Very high handling safety during production and transport (insensitive to impact and friction)
o No explosive properties during production and transport when used as "bulk" emulsion (emulsion to be pumped into the borehole)
o Raw materials are not explosives
o Blasting properties can be "tailored" to given needs by adapting the formulation
o High cost efficiency
