Detonating cord consists of PETN core covered by woven tube of polythene tape and cotton threads
protected by an outer insulation of polyvinyl chloride. The weight of cord is approximately 10 g/m and +-
outer diameter is about 5.0 5.5mm. The Detonating Cord is a strong, exible and linear explosive which
consists of a continuous core of high explosives PETN. The Detonating Cord is critical in transmitting energy
for initiation of explosion. It is a cap sensitive product having the ability to initiate all cap sensitive explosives &
primers
