Frequently Asked Questions

BETONAMIT® is a non-explosive demolition agent used for breaking rock, stone, and concrete in a safe, vibration-free, and environmentally friendly manner. It generates expansive pressure when mixed with water, effectively fracturing materials without noise or danger.

Put simply, BETONAMIT® works by creating expansive pressure. After being mixed with water and poured into pre-drilled holes, it expands over time, safely and precisely cracking the material. This chemical process eliminates the need for explosives or heavy machinery.

BETONAMIT® is completely safe to use. It is non-toxic, non-hazardous, and does not require specialised permits. Its explosion and vibration-free nature makes it ideal for sensitive areas such as residential neighbourhoods or heritage sites.

BETONAMIT® is suitable for breaking rock, stone, concrete, and reinforced concrete structures. It is widely used in construction, landscaping, and DIY applications.

Use BETONAMIT® by following these three simple steps:

1. Drill 30-40mm holes into the material.
2. Mix BETONAMIT® with water for 2-3 minutes according to the instructions provided.
3. Pour the mixture into the drilled holes and let the chemical reaction do the work.

Yes, BETONAMIT® is perfect for use in residential areas. Its vibration-free and explosion-free properties ensure minimal disruption to surrounding structures and eliminate noise, making it safe and ideal for more delicate environments.

Yes, BETONAMIT® is non-toxic and non-hazardous, making it environmentally friendly. It is safe to use in water-protected zones and significantly reduces the environmental impact of your demolition projects.

The 5kg bag is ideal for small-scale or DIY projects, while the 20kg box (containing 4 x 5kg bags) is best for larger or professional applications. We also offer Bundles that conveniently combine the demolition agent with essential tools such measuring jugs and mixers.

Material type and external temperature causes the reaction time to differ. Typically, BETONAMIT® begins to show results within 2-8 hours, with complete fracturing occurring within 24 hours in the majority of cases.

BETONAMIT® is available to purchase online with delivery options and a click and collect service. Choose from the 5kg bag, 20kg box, or cost-effective bundle options. Visit our Shop Products page to place an order or find out more.

No, BETONAMIT® does not require any licences or special permits to use. Its non-explosive nature makes it a safe and accessible demolition solution, without the requirement of licensing.

Yes, BETONAMIT® can be used in cold weather. However, for best results, ensure that the temperature of the water used for mixing and the material to be broken is above 5°C. In colder conditions, we recommend insulating the drilled holes to maintain effectiveness.

BETONAMIT® should be stored in a cool, dry place in its original packaging. Avoid exposing it to moisture or extreme temperatures to preserve its effectiveness.

No, BETONAMIT® cannot be used underwater. The drilled holes must be clean and dry for the product to work effectively. If water is present, ensure the holes are dried before applying BETONAMIT®.

To use BETONAMIT®, you’ll need a drill with a bit diameter of 30-40mm, an electric mixer for preparing the solution, and a container for mixing. These tools are straightforward and widely available, and our bundles allow you to combine the product with essential tools that simplify the process.
