Infrastructure

To ensure the highest quality and safety of the industrial explosives and initiating systems, state-of-the-art technology is used at every stage of production. The following testing facilities are available in-house and are carried out in three stages:

• Testing of all raw materials prior to the manufacturing process.
• In-process tests that are carried out during the manufacturing process.
• Final testing on finished products, i.e., detonators, explosives (slurry & emulsion explosives), PETN, and detonating fuse.

Further, we conduct a series of tests on semi-finished and finished products to ascertain their quality.
