GRT:12X has been independently verified by one of Australia’s leading universities to be 12 times more effective at capturing dust than water alone. Dosed into the drill rigs water tank at ratios of 1:1000 to 1:2000 (soil dependent) GRT: 12X penetrates the material surfaces and intercepts airborne particles immobilising fugitive dust. It also helps to create a more stable hole, reducing the risk and subsequent costs of hole collapse.

Importantly, the solution does not impact ore properties and drill and blast activities.

GRT: 12X is simply dosed into the tanks on your drill rigs, water trucks, or even automatically at the fill point. As a highly active liquid technology, it mixes rapidly throughout the tank providing a consistent and accurate dose from full to empty – unlike solid “candle” style additives. Penetrating ground and water surfaces, the dust particles are saturated and immobilised.

Despite being 12 times more powerful, GRT: 12X is still safe for workers, environmentally friendly, and easy on equipment, and will not negatively affect any material properties. Our most cost-effective product yet, GRT: 12X will revolutionise the way you manage dust.

Team the product up with GRT: DC Binder to completely manage your drill and blast pattern area.

THE KEY INDUSTRIES BENEFITING FROM THIS TECHNOLOGY ARE:

• Mining
• Quarrying
• Exploration drilling
• Bore holes

Providing dynamic dust management and 12 times more effective at dust capture than water alone, GRT: 12X is the intrinsically safe way to alter the profile of water so that it instantly targets the cause of black lung and silicosis saturating high-velocity dust from drilling quickly to prevent it from becoming an airborne hazard.

GRT will also work with you to devise a site-specific drill and blast dust control strategy to meet the dust challenges facing your quarry and mining operations.

COMPARED TO CONVENTIONAL PROCESSES, GRT:12X OFFERS -

• Health Benefits: Strips out hazardous dust particles – eliminating the cause of black lung, silicosis for the drill and blast crew and air pollution complaints from surrounding land users.
• Helps with drillhole and bore stability.
• Simply dosed into your drill rig’s water tank for rapid and accurate mixing.
• Potential for water reduction for drilling and blasting in mining and quarry environments.
• Robust product characteristics allow it to be applied across a diverse range of industries.
• Improves the efficiency of processing and handling operations, therefore reducing costs.

Are environmental regulations, health and safety concerns or potential profit loss a concern right now?

Drilling Safety and Environmental Management: Workers in quarry and mining environments, surrounding residents and ecological areas are protected from the harmful effects of wind-borne dust.

Process Optimisation: Greatly improve the efficiency of waterborne spray systems in mining and quarries, specifically drilling and blasting.

Independently verified by one of Australia’s leading universities to be 12 times more effective than water alone in suppressing coal dust and other hazardous dust. GRT’s quality management system is certified to ISO 9001 standards, and our products are approved and used by Industry-leading companies, worldwide.
