A packaged explosive product may include packaging film, explosive product, and a detonating cord. The packaging film may form one or more casings that contain the explosive product. The packaging film and explosive product form a charge. The detonating cord may be positioned external the one or more casings in relation to the explosive product while being positioned axially internal in relation to the one or more charges.

This description relates to a tamp for an explosive. The tamp is formed from heat-shrink material having its ends heat-shrunk closed holding a tamp substance therein. A length of heat-shrink material is provided. A first end of the heat-shrink material is heated-shrunk closed to create a bag shape. A tamp substance is inserted into the bag via a second end of the heat-shrink material. The second end of the heat-shrink material is heat-shrunk closed to create a tamp. The tamp is placed adjacent to an explosive. This description also relates to a sleeve for an explosive. The sleeve is formed from heat-shrink material. An explosive is placed in the sleeve. One or both ends of the sleeve may be heat-shrunk closed.

The present invention concerns an explosive material charging device (1) and a method of positioning the explosive material charging device (1) in a borehole (3). The explosive material charging device (1) comprises a top anchor unit (5) and a bottom anchor unit (7) each configured to engage the borehole wall (8), an expandable tube member (11) arranged between the top anchor unit (5) and the bottom anchor unit (7) and configured to be charged with explosive material (40), the bottom anchor unit (7) comprises a backflow prevention valve device (13) configured to prevent the explosive material (40) to flow out from the expandable tube member (11), wherein the backflow prevention valve device (13) is openable for permitting a charging hose (15) to enter the expandable tube member (11) for reaching the interior of the top anchor unit (5),

A blast hole liner is provided having an outer sleeve and an elongate tubing located within the outer sleeve. The outer sleeve is provided with an open first end thereby forming an internal space, adapted to hold an explosive composition. The outer sleeve also has at least one compartment 5 formed in a second end. The elongate tubing is adapted to allow for the entry of compressed air to inflate the elongate tubing and thereby ensure straightening or untwisting of the outer sleeve.
