How Cracken Is Applied:
Cracken is a ready-to-mix expansive cracking agent engineered for controlled splitting of rock and reinforced concrete. Typical field workflow:
- 1 Site assessment & hole pattern design (diameter, depth, spacing) based on material type.
- 2 Drill holes to specified diameter and depth; clean and dry holes.
- 3 Mix Cracken powder with the recommended water ratio to a homogeneous grout.
- 4 Pour/meter grout into each hole and seal as required.
- 5 Withdraw to safe distance and monitor; progressive expansion creates controlled fractures within 60-90 minutes depending on temperature and material.
- 6 Remove fractured blocks and perform finishing as required.
Technical Note:
Recommended hole diameters, spacing, and water ratios vary by application — consult our technical support or request an on-site test for a tailored hole pattern.
Engineered performance — tested, certified, reliable.
Cracken is manufactured under strict quality controls and batch testing to ensure consistent expansion pressure, setting time, and storage stability.
Our Internal QA Includes:
compression/expansion tests, particle-size verification, moisture control, and batch traceability.
We also conduct periodic third-party lab verification to validate field performance and safety parameters.
Certificate No.: UKS-QMS-25-453
Key quality assurances:
- Batch traceability and lot numbers on every bag.
- Expansion pressure and reaction window tested per standard protocols.
- Temperature-stability profiles for different climates.
- Accredited lab verifications available on request.
and easy application.
Cracken is available in industry-standard, export-ready packaging designed for safe handling and predictable shelf life.
Packaging options include:
Each package is clearly labeled with product code, batch number, recommended mix ratio, storage instructions, and safety icons. We offer customized packing and palletization for large orders and multimodal export compliance.
They need it:
- To break up concrete or rock in sensitive locations (near existing buildings or structures).
- To remove foundations, columns, or thick walls without vibration or noise.
Why:
- A safe and licensed alternative to explosives.
- It reduces time and cost compared to mechanical demolition.
- It gives them more precise control over where and when to break it up.
They need it:
- For breaking up hard rock without blasting.
- In areas with environmental or legal restrictions on explosives.
Why:
- Reduced risk, noise, and vibration.
- Greater operational flexibility at any time of day.
- Economical long-term product for repeated production.
They need it:
- In bridge projects, tunnels, water and sewage infrastructure plants, and for laying power lines or transportation infrastructure.
Why:
- Because they need to partially or precisely remove solid materials without affecting the rest of the infrastructure.
- Cracken provides them with very high precision and safety in execution.
- Cracking is a cost-effective and safe solution.
They need it:
- To break up rocks or concrete blocks during road or transportation network development.
Why:
- Because explosives are prohibited in residential and densely populated areas.
- Cracken offers a quiet, safe, and easy-to-train solution for field teams.
- Improving safety in underground projects by mitigating the adverse effects of blasting-induced vibrations.
They need it:
- For removing walls, concrete foundations, or small rocks in confined spaces.
Why:
- A ready-made product that's easy to use, even without complicated equipment.
- They can buy it in small quantities and try it themselves.
- Lower cost than renting large demolition equipment.
They need it:
- Renovating interior or exterior spaces with solid stone or concrete elements (e.g., walls, floors, or stone cladding).
Why:
- It allows the desired design to be implemented without damaging the overall structure.
- It provides clean results without unwanted breakage.
- It's easy to coordinate with small teams.
They need it:
- If they have a rock or old foundation they want to remove in their house or garden.
- For minor modifications or expansions to a house or garage.
Why:
- Because they don't need heavy equipment or a permit.
- Cracken is safe, easy to mix, and easy to use.
- It allows them to solve the problem themselves or with a simple technician without the cost of a large contractor.
They need it:
- To provide the product locally in the market.
Why:
- Because demand is increasing from maintenance contractors and individuals.
- It's a product with a good profit margin and is easy to store and transport.
