Descripon PE8 is a plasc explosive which is mouldable by hand to form demolion charges of various shapes and weights without leaving residue on the hands. PE8 is fully compliant with the UN Convenon on the Marking of Plasc Explosives for the Purposes of Detecon and is an insensive, RDX-based high explosive suitable for EOD or general demolion tasks. The specially formulated explosive composion provides a high level of safety whilst maintaining peak performance for metal cung. It is waterproof and may be deployed underwater if necessary. PE8 is designed to be easily and reliably iniated by Chemring’s range of detonators, detonang cord and detonang cord boosters. Typical Applicaon PE8 is an advanced formulaon plasc explosive used in military and commercial demolion operaons On-site loading of user-filled charges General cung purposes ranging from the most basic to very sophiscated tasks Explosive Ordnance Disposal bomb and mine clearance tasks Explosive welding and forming Easily cut with a sharp knife to match the charge weight to the target Chemring Energecs UK Ltd Ardeer Site, Stevenston, Ayrshire, KA20 3LN, UK Tel: 01294 487007 I Email: [email protected] Approved to ISO 9001 I ISO 14001 I OHSAS 18001 I Part of the Chemring Group Content of this datasheet is subject to modificaon without prior noce.
