Wabocord consists of a core of high explosive contained in polythene and wrapped in various layers of cotton/jute yarn. The detonating cord is then coated with PVC, giving it a high tensile strength and making it water proof. The structure of Wabocord assures its efficient field performance as it is unaffected by both heat and cold within a wide range from –60° c to 30° c.

MS/Hs Electric Delay Detonators
Milli second and half second electric delay detonators are meant to effect delayed blasting action in multi-row bench blasting and tunneling. This action greatly improves blasting results as better fragmentation and ground vibration control is achieved. For surface blasting only, MS delays are used while in underground blasting, a combination of both MS and HS detonators is employed.
