Plastic Explosives


Energetics Formulated compositions Controlled supply
Malleable energetic compositions
for qualified programmes

Plastic explosives are formulated energetic materials that combine an explosive component with a flexible binder system. Their malleable physical form supports controlled specialist applications within authorised military, engineering and industrial programmes:
supplied only in qualified configurations under strict regulatory control.

Material characteristics

Physical, safety and performance characteristics are formulation-specific. Every material must be assessed and managed against its approved technical data, safety documentation and qualified application.

01

Malleable format

A flexible binder system gives the qualified composition its characteristic mouldable physical form.

02

Formulation-specific behaviour

Sensitivity, stability, storage life and environmental response depend on the approved formulation and configuration.

03

Controlled use

Initiation and application require approved equipment, qualified procedures and specifically authorised personnel.

04

Documented supply

Qualified supply can include batch identification, conformity records, safety information and approved transport documentation.

Qualified programme applications

Plastic explosive compositions are used within authorised specialist military-engineering, explosive-ordnance and controlled demolition programmes. Suitability is never assumed from the general material class alone.

The final material, configuration, packaging and support documentation are selected for the contracted requirement and remain subject to manufacturer qualification, end-user approval and applicable regulation.

Explosives safety and regulatory control

Never infer safety from a general material description. Plastic explosives remain hazardous regulated materials. Supply, possession, transport, storage, handling and use require applicable licences, authorised facilities, approved procedures, qualified personnel and compliance with the current manufacturer documentation and competent-authority requirements.
