Our technology
The world’s first market-proven
sustainable commercial explosives platform
Hypex Bio has invented and patented the world’s first commercially- available hydrogen peroxide-based explosives. A safe, sustainable and efficient alternative to the ammonium nitrate-based explosives that dominates the world’s mines, quarries, tunnels and construction sites.
Our technology platform packages all aspects of our technology to ensure a smooth and easy transition at the user level. We ensure that your business can maintain it's operational model, including drill patterns, choice of initiation systems and personal protective equipment.
Our technology represents a paradigm shift in blasting operations. It outperforms conventional explosives, while addressing critical operational and environmental challenges faced by the mining and construction industries.
Our technical platform
Stable hydrogen peroxide emulsions are the core of our innovation, but the true value lies in our integrated platform where chemistry, process equipment and smart support work seamlessly together to provide a complete solution for blasting operations.
Chemistry
Hypex Bio supplies several critical raw materials needed to form our hydrogen peroxide emulsions, including the fuel phase, gassing agent, and destruction fluid. Our chemical products are adapted to customer expectations for crucial product properties such as energy and VOD.
Our emulsions can achieve over 90 %fossil-free status, offering a nearly circular solution that aligns with global sustainability goals.
Process equipment
Our process equipment ensures the precise and efficient application of Hypex Bio explosives. We design and produce state-of-the-art delivery systems for underground applications and surface charging (MEMU systems). Aligned with current industry standards, designed for flexibility, and supported by our customer centric organization, our equipment easily integrates into existing operations and performs consistently in a wide variety of conditions.
Implementation and application support
We understand the challenges in dealing with energetic materials and what is required to successfully integrate new technology into commercial operations. To smooth this process, we offer committed and competent support throughout all steps of the implementation process. This includes dealing with regulatory issues, site construction considerations, functions of transfer and charging systems and off course, assistance in on-face application support and optimization.
Hypex production
A seamless flow from input material to blast
Hypex Bio designs and builds modular hydrogen peroxide emulsion production plants that are cost-effective and easy to operate. We offer a plug-and-play technology platform covering the full lifecycle of blasting operations – production, logistics, loading, blasting and recycling. Together, these elements create a robust and scalable platform that can be tailored to meet the specific needs of our customers.
Our markets
Developed to offer performance and sustainability in all types of blasting operations - everywhere
No matter if it’s underground mining, surface mining or infrastructure projects, Hypex Bio’s technical platform delivers superior performance, safety and environmental benefits.
Our value chain
The Hypex Bio platform is designed to ensure a robust and reliable supply and value chain for nitrate-free emulsion explosives. Our platform covers everything from the input, preparation and storage of raw materials, to the production of non-explosive emulsions, which are subsequently chemical sensitized by a charging unit while charging blast holes.

Adaptability and flexibility
Every application and every site is different, therefore we work hard to understand our customers’ needs and requirements prior to deploying our platform. Our experience has taught us that it is crucial that proper adaptations to local requirements and site-specific demands are accounted for. Our skilled engineers approach implementation using our phase-based project process. Reach out to us to discuss how this process could look for your operation and how the Hypex Bio platform can help to improve productivity while ensuring your commitment to sustainability.
