Benefits

• Rugged, abrasion resistant tubing which does not tangle
• Easy and simple to use
• Reliable
• Oil resistant

 
Safety Benefits
The shock tube cannot be initiated by:

• Radio transmissions
• Radiations
• Stray currents
• Electrostatic discharge
• Burning / heat
• Impact with a hammer or similar implement
• Friction

 
Initiation
Shock tube can be initiated by any of the following products:

• Electric detonator
• Electronic detonator
• Detonating cords (minimum 5gPETN/m)
• Surface delay assembly
• Hand held shock tube initiators
• Shot shell starters

 
Special Precaution

• Handle with care as damage to the shock tube could lead to misfires
• Never pull, stretch or kink the shock tube
• RDX is toxic, avoid ingestion and inhalation of the RDX dust
• RDX is very sensitive to shock and therefore explodes readily
• When the shock tube is heated to decomposition it could emit traces of toxic carbon monoxide fumes

 
Storage

• The shelf life of the product is 24 months from the date of manufacture, provided the ends are sealed with a suitable cap
• Store in an approved cool and dry place
• Abide by the legal storage requirements for the region
• Always rotate stock (first in, first out)

 
Application
Shock tube is used in the production of the various assemblies such as Water-proof Shock Tube Detonator and LP Delay Shock Tube Detonator. It can also be used as a extender on a blast.
