Because safety has always been first

Safety fuse, also known as ‘time fuse,’ has saved countless lives since its introduction in the 1830's. EBA&D's first explosive initiation system, invented by William Bickford, the founder of The Ensign-Bickford Company, worked by improving the way explosives were initiated in mining activities. For decades since, EBA&D has supplied M700 time fuses to the United States government. An EBA&D Safety Fuse is manufactured with a black powder core, textile yarns and a waterproof outer jacket.

M14 and M18 Assemblies:

Feel the burn

The M14 Detonation Assembly consists of a five minute burn time length safety fuse (approximately 8 ft or 2.4 Meters) with a high strength detonator crimped on one end. This Safety Fuse is M700 equivalent with a nominal burning rate of 120 seconds/yard (132 seconds per meter) at sea level.  Burning speed tolerance is +/-10%. The units are marked with indicators at one minute intervals for clear identification. The M18 Detonation Assembly is similar to the M14 assembly, the M18 having a 20 minute burn time (approximately 32 feet or 10 meters of M700).

Detonation at the ready

High strength detonation and explosive ordnance disposal is made easy and reliable with EBA&D factory pre-assembled packages ready to ship in weatherproofed containers. Units are packaged in outer 4C1 wooden boxes. EBA&D offers a variety of safety fuses, in addition to M14 and M18 assemblies.
