Seismic Explosive
Tovex® Seismic is a water gel explosive especially designed for Seismic exploration. It is a cap sensitive and need to be initiated with seismic detonator (by virtue of application).
In direct comparison to seismograph 60% high-velocity dynamite;
- Tovex® Seismic Explosive has shown to be consistently high performing with far less risk in handling as compared to any class of dynamite.
- Tovex® Seismic Explosive has shown to be consistently high performing with far less risk in handling as compared to any class of dynamite.
- Much Safer to use and totally non-toxic fume generator (No headaches typically associated with usage of dynamites)
- Shot hole reveals performance equivalent to dynamite for Seismic prospecting.
- Seismic Explosive chub being hermetically produced is particularly well suited for application as a sleep charge.
- Excellent resistance to water and to desensitization under high hydrostatic pressures.
- The cartridges are exceptionally of high quality and can be screwed together to a string as per desired length/ application.
