Known by many trade names, such as Metabel, Deta sheet, Series 1000 - PETN sheet explosive, and Series 2000 - RDX sheet explosive. These plastic bonded explosives have a very high brisance and detonating velocity. Sheet explosive is in most cases the explosive of choice for the tactical loading of the HYDRO CUT Entry and Gun Port Frames. Sheet explosive is supplied in North America in rolls which are a standard 10” wide. Depending on the thickness of the sheet explosive it is supplied as two X 10 pound rolls per box, or two X 20 pound rolls per box.
(snip tabular information)
Sheet explosive should be cut with a knife, not with scissors or shears to avoid potential injury. Both Series 1000 and Series 2000 are cap sensitive explosives.
