NONELLP Series
Product Description
NONEL®nonelectric delay detonator LP units consist of a length of yellow shock
tube sealed at one end and having a high strength detonator crimped to the other.
A colour-coded J-Hook, with pad-printed delay period, is affixed near the sealed
end, providing easy means of connection to detonating cord.
NONEL LP units are designed to provide in-hole delays for underground (non-
coal) or special construction blasting applications that require long period delay
times to improve relief and fragmentation (such as drift development, shaft
raising/sinking, stope applications or tunnelling rounds). They are typically used
with detonating cord.
Features and Benefits
The NONEL LP detonator provides increased water hammer resistance in blasting
applications where saturated ground conditions exist. The NONEL LP shock tube
exhibits excellent handling characteristics and enables longer sleep times down
the hole. The NONEL LP Series has a colour-coded stamped cord clip for easy
identification.

Application Recommendations
ALWAYS use the plastic J-Hook when using a detonating cord trunkline to tie-in
NONEL LP nonelectric delay detonators. A minimum 3.6 g/m (18 gr/ft) detonating
cord trunkline is required for use with the J-Hook.
ALWAYS ensure the shock tube is connected at right angles to the detonating
cord trunkline and that the shock tube leads returning to the hole collar do not
cross over or lay near any detonating cord trunkline. If the detonating cord
touches the shock tube or is closer than 15 cm (6 inches), the shock tube may be
damaged and misfires may result.
ALWAYS connect detonating cord using approved knots and tight connections.
Place detonating cord hook-ups in closed loops and use with cross-ties.
NEVER cut or trim seals from the shock tube of a NONEL LP delay. If shock
tubing is cut or is suspected of being cut or damaged during loading, ALWAYS
reprime the blast-hole using a new unit of the same delay period.
NEVER drive any equipment over shock tube or detonating cord. Whenever
charging from a manoeuvrable basket, platform or boom, ALWAYS make sure
that no shock tube or detonating cord is entangled or can become entangled.
ALWAYS make sure that no shock tube or detonating cord can be pinched
between the basket, platform or boom and the face, ribs, back or floor. Rupturing
or damaging shock tube or detonating cord may cause misfires.

Application Recommendations (continued)
Sleep Time - The sleep time of the NONEL LP Series is dependent on the
temperature and type of explosive in contact with the unit. Please contact Dyno
Nobel for further information.
Water Resistance - The NONEL LP Series provides excellent water resistance.
Ground Temperature - The NONEL LP Series can be safely used in ground with
a temperature range of -40°C to +70°C.
Shelf Life - For maximum shelf life (3 years), NONEL LP units must be stored in
a cool, dry, well ventilated magazine. Explosive inventory should be rotated. Avoid

Safe handling, transportation and storage
First Aid –You can find detailed first aid information on the relevant Dyno Nobel
Safety Data Sheet. Refer to www.dynonobel.com for more information if required.
Safety - All explosives are classified as dangerous goods and can cause personal
injury and damage to property if used incorrectly.
Transportation and Storage - All explosives must be handled, transported and
stored in accordance with all relevant regulations. Stock should be rotated such
that older product is used first.
Application of NONEL LP Sidewinder®Series
Sidewinder®is the winding configuration for NONEL LP series 5.4m. It has been
specifically designed to reduce the occurrence of tangling of this shorter tube
length on deployment. Each bundle holds 5 Sidewinder ®coils.
Step 1. Hold the bundle of five (5) Sidewinder coils by the loop where detonator
bases are pointing down and facing away from your body.
Step 2. To separate the five (5) Sidewinder coils, remove the rubber band.
Leave each tube coiled within its Sidewinder sleeve.
Step 3. Make up primer according to mine standards.
Step 4. Push the primer into the hole. The tube will unravel from its sleeve. The
remainder of the tube will remain in the sleeve, thus preventing loose
tubes hanging down the face.
Step 5.To complete deployment of unit, hold clip and pull the tube from its
sleeve.
