Hole Control

A unique cost-saving fluid formulated to speed-up hole-collaring, reduce collar sloughing and stabilize the total blasthole

  • HOLE CONTROL can be used with air-rotary tri-cone, downhole hammers and all types of top hammer drills (surface and underground).
  • HOLE CONTROL reduces REDRILLS.
  • HOLE CONTROL eliminates regrinding of cuttings, thus creating bigger chips for sampling purposes.
  • HOLE CONTROL leaves a sticky, neatly stacked cuttings pile that is not prone to sloughing prior to loading the hole.
  • HOLE CONTROL acts as a dust suppressant and reduces wind blown fines.
  • HOLE CONTROL allows blast holes to be fully loaded, helping to optimize blasting operations.
  • HOLE CONTROL works great with the Matex Fluid Injector!

CONTROL CHEMICAL CAN MODIFY THE FORMULA TO FIT ANY MINE’S DRILLING CONDITIONS AND PROVIDE START-UP AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT.
