BLASTBAGS™ deploy faster, have a much stronger hold, seal better in wet or irregular holes, offer adjustable inflation speed (on some models), and provide more consistent air decks than many mechanical plug alternatives.

BLASTBAGS™ come in multiple diameters and styles—including SOLO, AERO, ACE II, and EVO—so crews can choose the best option for their hole size and blast design.

Gas bags are used in open-pit mining, underground blasting, quarry work, pre-splits, wall control, air decking, and any blasting scenario that benefits from reduced vibration or improved fragmentation.

No. BLASTBAGS™ are single-use consumables designed to provide consistent, reliable performance each time.

BLASTBAGS™ are inserted into a borehole and inflated to form a stable air gap at a set depth. This air deck helps distribute explosive energy more efficiently for cleaner, more controlled breakage.

A gas bag is an inflatable device placed inside a blasthole to plug/block the hole to create an air deck, improving fragmentation and reducing explosive consumption. Gasbags are also used to plug cracks, voids, seal the top of a hole, and to block off water. They’re also sometimes called blast bags, air bags, or blasting bags.
