EIS RIOSEIS P

DESCRIPTION
Seismic RIOSEIS P are specifically
made for seismic applications, with 1
its high density of (1,6 g/cm3) and
high velocity of detonation* (7,500 2
m/s). They are manufactured with a
rigid plastic cover and are detonator
sensitive
The Seismic RIOSEIS P composition
and high detonation pressure (225
Kbar) assures consistent performance
regardless of hydrostatic pressure,
making them ideal for use in
extreme conditions.
Seismic RIOSEIS P provide an
optimum balance between high and
low frequency signals essential to
achieve optimum interpretation and
resolution of seismic data.

are kept in proper dry storing and
conditions. initiation.

APPLICATION
Seismic RIOSEIS P attenuate low
frequencies and strengthen high
frequencies and reach peak speeds
of several millimeters and are the
optimal product for seismic
applications. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE
RIOSEIS P has been designed so that if extra energy is required they can
also be coupled together. RIOSEIS P must be initiated with a seismic
detonator (RIODET HP, RIODET XP)

Advantages SAFETY
USE: RIOSEIS P should be used, handled and stored with care, ensuring
Safe, reliable and user friendly. the product is kept away from flames and excessive heat sources.

SAFETY WARNING
Read the Instructions Safety Sheet and the Material Safety Data Sheet provided carefully before using RIOSEIS P. RIOSEIS P must not be used in flammable environments such
as methane or coal dust. MAXAM strongly recommends not to use RIOSEIS P products with detonators and/or initiation systems supplied by other manufacturers in the same
blast and declines all liability in these cases.
RIOSEIS P must be stored at moderate temperatures in a dry and well ventilated place.
