X-BOOSTER Booster for Blasting Agents

DESCRIPTION

The X-BOOSTER Cylindrical range are explosive charges of high power and

high safety, intended for the initiation of blasting agents. Its plastic container

protects the explosive mixture it contains, allowing it to be more insensitive

to impact or rubbing, as well as a greater resistance to the attack of water

present in some perforations. It also includes the Safelock ® accessory that

aims at a standard and safe priming, housing the crimper of the detonator

inside the booster in a single position.
