Seismic explosive is not a dierent type of explosive than other emulsions. It is also one of the categories of
these explosives with some changes in raw material composition; to enhance its eective energy, velocity &
shattering eect. It is designed for seismic application & geological survey. Its packing is in rigid plastic
capsules with the provision of inter-coupling to prevent the water penetration. Although the seismic
explosives have excellent water resistance, but the hydrostatic pressure within the bore whole is too much
and sleeping time is approximately four weeks.
Emulsion Seismic explosives is also relatively safer in handling, transportation, charging & use than other
seismic explosives. It is insensitive to accidental hazards by shock, friction or mechanical impact under normal
conditions.
