Plastic Bonded Explosives (PBX’ S)

Plastic Bonded Explosives (PBX’ S)

Plastic Bounded Explosives (PBXs) are the new class of explosives which have been widely used in modern ammunitions due to their low sensitivity to accidental explosions, applicable chemical and physical properties and high mechanical strength. Cast-cure and pressed are two types of PBXs. In cast-cure type, explosive powder is bound together in a polymer matrix to making the PBX very intensive to accidental detonation. In pressed type, explosive powder are coated with plastic materials and then pressed in into ammunitions. Due to high pressing density, better mechanical strength, more thermal stability, processing and transportation safety, PBXs have performance than common explosives. We offer various compositions of HMX and RDX that coated with binder (PBXs). These compounds are used as booster or main charge, in different application such as OCFOL, LX14, PBXN-5, ECH-310, etc. × The ECH-310 compound is used as main charge in perforator gun in oil drilling industry.
