Has any one heard of a substance called s-mite, esmite or something sounding like it? I was told that it was some type of compound that when poured into holes drilled into rock, it would cause the rock to split, sort of a chemical version of feathers and wedges.

A quick web search for s-mite turned up

I did some looking up on this sort of stuff. It's great in the hose low noise situations, with a nice solid rock. But it looks pretty expensive per hole, and holes a scarily close together. It would also not do the explosive job on already-shattered rock/soil. My point is that there are many areas where a really big machine / rock breaker would be needed to break up the interwoven rock. A good blast would do the job. This stuff would not IMO.

Ans some of them have to be used pretty carefully (as in mixed etc) to get best reuslts, and are very slow (24-48 hours?)
