Detonating cord

Explosive that consists of a core made up of a high explosive: Penthrite (PETN) protected by paper, layers of thread and PVC to guarantee resistance to humidity, traction and abrasion. It is used as a blasting accessory, initiator and intercommunicator of holes with each other for cutting and special blasting work. It is used as the main transmission line, it can initiate any number of additional lines connected with a knot to form a mesh. This product is designed as a transmitting element of a detonating wave from one point to another or from one explosive charge to another. It has excellent water resistance, as long as its plastic coating is preserved. The 38 g/m detonating cord is specifically used in explosive pre-cutting and trimming in tunneling.
