Detsafe
Detonators are an essential tool for many military, civil and humanitarian applications. They are however very sensitive items and so great restrictions are placed on their condition of storage and transportation. The Detsafe blast containment range is fully compliant with UN Hazard Classification of 1.4S so they can be transported with other explosives and stored to capacity in explosive magazines.
