What is Dexpan?

Dexpan® is a non-explosive controlled demolition agent that comes in powder form.

When mixed with water and poured into pre-drilled holes Dexpan® generates an incredible 18,000 PSI expansive force that breaks concrete and rock safely and cost effectively with no noise, vibration or dust.

• Roadwork, bridges. piers, bank vaults.

Excavating and Rock Breaking

• Splitting and breaking boulders
• Excavating rock
• Rock and slab breaking for road expansion
• Excavation associated with tunneling
• Trenching and shaft sinking
• Leveling
• Suitable for use in commercial and residential developments

Stone Quarrying and Dimensioning

• Allows for non-explosive quarrying of limestone, onyx, marble, and granite
• Controlled expansive cracking avoids waste of valuable stone

challenging environments

• Silent demolition in areas where you can not use noisy demolition tools like demolition hammers, diamond blade concrete cutter saws, hydraulic breaker or demolition wrecking ball
• Non-explosive demolition when you can not use blasting explosives, TNT, dynamite, Nonex, primer cord due to blasting permits, licenses, restrictions and insurance costs.

under water

• Dexpan non-explosive demolition agent can break rock and cut concrete underwater by using plastic tubing
