Pentofex multiplier

It is a pentolite-based multiplier explosive with high density, velocity and detonation pressure. Pentofex multipliers are formulated with a mixture of TNT and penthrite (PETN) of the highest quality that ensures their reliability, consistency and durability in blasting environments. They are used to initiate the detonation of blasting agents (explosives that cannot be initiated with a detonator). It is sensitive to initiation with common, electric, non-electric and electronic detonators with a minimum force of 8.
