⚠️ Critical Safety Note for >35°C:
If your site temperature exceeds 35°C, follow these rules to prevent blowouts:
Cool the Rock: Pre-flush holes with water to lower rock face temperature.
Use Ice Water: Always mix with water below 15°C to delay the reaction.
Borehole Matching: Use Topking Rock Drills for 38mm-40mm hole accuracy.

Why Topking HSCA-1 Dominates the Tropical Market?
Dubai & Riyadh Projects: Proven reliability in desert quarrying up to 45°C.
India Urban Demolition: Noise-free concrete cracking in crowded Mumbai city centers.
Large Capacity: We ship over 200 containers annually to South Asia and the Middle East.
Summer & High-Temperature Stone Cracking Agent FAQ
Q: How do you handle shipping to Saudi Arabia or India?
A: We offer specialized moisture-proof export packaging and work with reliable sea freight partners to ensure fast, tax-efficient delivery to major ports like Jeddah or Mumbai.
Q: What happens if I use HSCA-1 above 40°C without customization?
A: It poses a high risk of a 'blow-out' due to sudden steam expansion. For extreme desert heat (45°C-55°C), please contact us for our Customized High-Heat Formula.
Q: Is HSCA-1 effective for reinforced concrete demolition?
A: Yes, it is 100% vibration-free and silent, making it the perfect non-explosive demolition agent for urban city centers in summer heat.
Q: What is the price of stone cracking powder in India and Middle East?
A: The price varies based on order volume and shipping destination. As a direct manufacturer, we provide factory-direct pricing for bulk orders to Mumbai, Dubai, and Riyadh. Please contact our sales team for an MSDS and latest quote.
Q: Why is ice water recommended for mixing in hot climates?
A: In temperatures over 35°C, chemical reactions happen too fast. Using ice water (0°C to 10°C) slows down the initial hydration, preventing blowouts and ensuring the pressure develops deep inside the rock for a clean split.
Q: How much HSCA powder do I need for 1 cubic meter of granite?
A: For hard rock like granite or basalt, you typically need 10kg to 15kg per cubic meter (m³). The exact dosage depends on the hole diameter (38mm-42mm recommended) and the spacing of the drilling pattern.
Q: Do I need a blasting permit to use this rock breaking chemical?
A: No. EXPANDAG is a non-explosive material. It can be used without blasting licenses, specialized storage magazines, or vibration monitoring, which significantly reduces project costs in regulated areas like Saudi Arabia and India.
Q: How long does it take for cracks to appear in summer temperatures?
A: In hot weather (above 30°C), you will usually see visible cracks within 4 to 8 hours. The maximum expansion pressure of 120MPa is typically reached within 24 hours, depending on the rock density.
Q: How should I store the expansive mortar in tropical humidity?
A: Store the cartons in a dry, shaded warehouse. Our vacuum-sealed bags protect the powder from tropical humidity, but once a bag is opened, the powder must be used immediately to maintain its full expansion strength.
