Semtex is a general-purpose Plastic-Explosive (PE) containing RDX and PETN. It is used in commercial blasting, demolition and in certain military applications.

2007年11月19日 · Terrorists have access to a range of explosives that can either be homemade using chemicals such as ammonium nitrate, or bought through the black market, such as military-grade Semtex. Modern explosive detection systems can detect and determine the nature of a chemical compound within seconds, but a universal detection system for all kinds of ...

2024年7月1日 · Semtex 10 has been reported as consisting of 85.0% pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN), 3.7% binder, 11.3% dibutylformamide (DBF) and 0.002% colorant [14]. For safety reasons, the explosive was detonated using detonating cord.

Semtex: Analysis and Trends Requires a detonator for an efficient explosion – Variations contain RDX or PETN in a mixture with a polymeric binder – Contains a rubber binder that allows the explosive to remain pliable Widely considered as the plastic explosive of choice for terrorists in IEDs, continues to be manufactured

On April 15, 2013, two improvised explosive devices (IEDs) were placed roughly 200 yards apart on Boylston Street in Boston, Massachusetts, and detonated near the final stretch of the Boston Marathon. 1 The joint explosions killed three people—eight-year-old Martin Richard, 23-year-old Lu Lingzi, and 29-year-old Krystle Campbell—and injured ...

2012年1月1日 · We present the results obtained in dissociative electron attachment to Semtex in the gas phase by making use of a crossed electron-molecular beam experiment. Energy dependence of partial cross sections has been measured in an electron energy range from 0 to 12 eV with an energy resolution of ∼80 meV.

DSA Detection manufactures and distributes its own brand of DHS approved ETD consumables and inert IED training aids. Our superior products and training make DSA your single source for all your security checkpoint needs.

This training aid simulates an X-ray correct IED concealed in a duffel or gym-style bag. It contains all the necessary P.I.E.S. (Power source, Initiator, Explosive, and Switch) components of an IED. The X-ray correct explosive simulant is Semtex H and is engineered to have the same density and effective atomic number (Zeff) as the real ...

This IED training aid includes a 8″ long section of 1.5″ diameter steel pipe filled with inert Semtex H. The pipe bomb would be initiated by the included time fuse detonator. Available in the following configurations:

This training aid simulates bulk Semtex 1A and is available in larger quantities for custom builds. The explosive simulant is visually correct and engineered to have the same density and effective atomic number ( Z eff ) as the real explosive threat.
