PETN is one of the most powerful and most brisant explosives; its stability is satisfactory while it is extremely sensitivity. It is used in high-efficiency blasting-cap fillings and detonation cords. If phlegmatized with a small amount of wax and pressed, it may be used to produce boosters and fillings for smaller caliber projectiles. PETN can be used incorporated with gelatinous, industrial explosives (e.g. for seismic prospecting). It is also used in fused, NPED detonators, pentolite Boosters, and inductive charges, molding charges, primary demolition of naval mines, small bullets, and grenades, mixed with Nitrocellulose or synthetic rubbers for production of plastic explosives. We offer also desensitized PETN that called PENTASTITE (PETN 94%).
