RIOCORDRIOCORD is a flexible detonating cord with a core made of an explosive material (PETN). RIOCORD detonates at an approximate speed of 7,500 m/s. | ||
RIOFLEX MX10000RIOFLEX MX 10000 is a mechanically sensitised high energy bulk explosive suitable for most mine and quarry applications. RIOFLEX MX 10000 is a higher | ||
RIOGEL TRONERRIOGEL TRONER XE is a high strength, high density cap sensitive watergel. The gel structure gives the product a rubber-like tough consistency and outstanding water resistance. | ||
RIONEL MSThe RIONEL MS series has been designed for use as a down-the-hole detonator in standard blasting scenarios. RIONEL MS are manufactured in a series of varying delay timings and when used in combination with RIONEL SCX surface connectors, offer a multitude of initiation sequence options. RIONEL MS are highly accurate delays that reduce risk of timing overlap.
| ||
Rionel SCEThe Rionel SCE is a non-electric Surface Connector capable of firing up to eight tubes.
All tubes must be fully inserted for reliable initiation.

Rock Fall FailureRock fall failure refers to quantities of rock falling freely from a cliff face. A rockfall is a fragment of rock (a block) detached by sliding, toppling, or falling, that falls along a vertical or sub-vertical cliff, proceeds down slope by bouncing and flying along ballistic trajectories or by rolling on talus or debris slopes. Alternatively, a "rockfall is the natural downward motion of a detached block or series of blocks with a small volume involving free falling, bouncing, rolling, and sliding".

Rock Piston EffectNoise / air blast caused by the displacement of a large amount of air as the face rock mass swells and is thrown out. | |
Rock Release PulseNoise / air blast caused by the venting of high pressure blast gases through the face. | |
Rock Topple FailureToppling failure occurs where columns or blocks of rock topple or rotate about a fixed base.
