NexPand

NexPand is an expansive mortar used for rock breaking in the quarrying, mining, and construction industries. Supplied in powder form, when mixed with water and poured into the pre-drilled holes, it gradually expands to break rock, concrete, or reinforced concrete, without causing vibration, noise, toxic gases, fly rock, or leaving any residue.

​

As a safe, efficient, and eco-friendly alternative to traditional blasting, NexPand is ideal for a variety of applications in quarrying, mining, and construction operations.​
