Austin Powder is a leader in the manufacture, distribution, and application of industrial explosives for quarrying, surface mining, underground mining, oil and gas, seismic, and construction markets.
Blasting plays a vital role in a wide variety of both large and small construction projects, as well as site work for homes, roads, malls, tunneling, shaft sinking, and canal widening.
Mining plays a critical role in providing the resources that make our daily lives possible. The conveniences and technologies enjoyed by society today simply would be non-existent without mining.
Without blasting, the aggregates industry would be incapable of meeting the crushed stone demand for building and maintaining the world’s infrastructure – roads, highways and bridges.
Austin is always available for technical support on a moment’s notice – be it drilling and blasting projects with demanding characteristics or on time reliable delivery. We ensure safe delivery of quality products to customers who store their own products and perform their own blasting.
Products such as Austin Powder’s E-Star and Shock-Start Detonators, are critical – not only to achieve maximum environmental control, but also for the best fragmentation results possible. And used with Austin’s Emulex Series gassed emulsions, this level of control results in significant cost savings
