Blasting mats as important component of blasting are used to control fly rock. These mats, typically made of materials like rubber, effectively absorb and disperse the energy generated during explosions, minimising the potential for rocks and debris to be propelled beyond the blasting zone. In addition to fly rock control, blasting mats help contain air overpressure, and facilitate a safer working environment, underlining their integral role in responsible and efficient blasting practices.
