Detonators

Detonators are small devices used to ignite explosive charges. They function as a trigger, converting a small, initial energy into a rapid, powerful explosion that sets off the main charge. Typically, detonators contain a sensitive material that responds to an initiating signal—such as a shock, heat, or electrical current—causing a controlled explosion. They are essential in various applications like mining, demolition, and military operations, ensuring explosions occur safely and precisely. Proper handling and design are critical, as detonators are highly sensitive and require careful precautions to prevent accidental activation.
