Detonating Cord

Austin Powder manufactures a wide variety of detonating cords to meet the mining, quarrying, and construction industry requirements. Detonating cords are used to initiate detonator-sensitive commercial explosives such as cast boosters, dynamites, and emulsions and to provide a path of initiation to non-electric detonators. The detonating cord has a core of PETN (pentaerythritol tetranitrate) encased in multiple polypropylene yarns, over-extruded with a polyethylene jacket and high-strength textile yarns.

Benefits

  • Water and abrasion-resistant.
  • High tensile strength.
  • Color-coded for easy identification.
  • Electronically and mechanically inspected.
  • Insensitive to extraneous current.
  • Assures reliable non-electric initiation.

Typical Uses

  • A-Cord & A-Cord Slideline: Small, medium, and large hole downlines and trunklines; secondary blasting and long hole blasting underground.
  • 50 Reinforced: Excellent general-purpose detonating cord for reliable blast initiation under virtually all conditions.
  • Heavy Duty 200: For severe conditions to meet a wide range of specialized applications. Well suited for dimensional stone and wall control.
