GREEN BREAK TECHNOLOGY (GBT)

•  Green Break Technology (GBT) is based on non-detonating chemical compound, enclosed in cartridge, which reacts quickly when activated to produce a high volume of harmless gas, primarily consisting of Nitrogen, Carbon dioxide & water vapour.

 APPLICATION OF GBT CARTRIDGE:

• Green Break Technology (GBT) cartridge does the same job as ammonium nitrate fuel oil (ANFO) -- splitting open rocks, bringing down buildings and carving tunnels through mountains but unlike other explosives, it cannot be diverted for making bombs as it cannot be detonated or exploded.
•  Ammonium nitrate, which is prone to pilferage during storage and transportation, is a common choice of terrorists and insurgents for assembling bombs and IEDs.

 MECHANISM OF ACTION:

• While TNT and ANFO burn and send out shockwaves that send shrapnel flying around hundreds of metres, GBT, when ignited, only reacts chemically to produce a large amount of harmless gas. The pressure from the gas helps in fracturing rocks, and fragments fall harmlessly close to the spot where the cartridge is ignited.

 BENEFITS:

• No clearing area required beyond 20 meters
• No measurable noise vibration and no shock wave damage
• Minimal dust caused, no leaking of any chemical materials
• No flying rock or debris
