Leading with better products

The aerospace and defense industries continually rely on our extensive experience in the scale-up and production of Plastic Bonded Explosive (PBX) products. EBA&D’s scientists and engineers offer leading edge development of Department of Defense (DOD), aerospace, commercial and specialty applications.

Unique mechanical properties

EBA&D offers a wide range of standard PBX detonating cords, which consist of a PETN, RDX, or HMX explosive, with plasticizers and binders, resulting in a less sensitive, waterproof explosive. They are used in various applications, including sheet explosives, reactive armor, explosive cutting, and metal hardening, and have been produced in coreloads from 50 grains/foot to 1,150 grains/foot. Due to their unique mechanical and explosive properties, these cords have been used in a number of minefield breaching applications, including EBA&D's Small Projected Line Charge (SAPLIC) system and other mine clearing systems.
