(Wet Hole Bags)

Bag Design
The traditional shot bag is comprised of a tubular polyethylene liner that is inserted (sewn or tipper tied) into a piece of circular woven polypropylene fabric. Customers also have the option of purchasing woven only bags that are bags made out of only polypropylene fabric.

Applications
The conventional shot bag design (polyethylene liner sewn or tipper tied inside of the woven polypropylene fabric) is used by the explosives manufacturer to package their blasting agents in preparation for transport to a specific job. These bags are designed to be filled with product, closed upon filling, transported either via a truck or ocean container and loaded into a blast site.

These bags are used in holes ranging from 10 feet to 70 feet in depth that have accumulated water. The purpose of the conventional two ply bag is to contain the blasting agent during transport and keep the blasting agent waterproof upon dropping the product in the hole. The woven only bags are bags that can be loaded on site directly from a bulk truck and immediately placed into the hole.
