Dexpan Canada Blasting Products

Adams Bros Construction is your Local supplier of Dexpan™, a non-explosive, environmentally friendly expanding agent used for controlled rock and concrete breaking.

How does it work? Simply add water, mix and pour into pre-drilled holes in the rock or concrete.  Holes can be drilled with a common hammer drill and for silent operations holes can be core drilled.  It is ideally suited to projects where the surrounding environment is sensitive to vibrations, or risk damage from flying debris.  Dexpan™ gives you ultimate control by only breaking to the depth that the holes have been drilled.
