SOLAR CORD is used in the firing of non-electric detonators, in the ignition of capsule-sensitive explosives, and in pre-cutting and post-cutting applications. It is an ignition element with a core of PETN, woven with synthetic textile products, and covered with a waterproof PVC material on the outer shell, making it flexible. When ignited, it detonates at a speed of 6,500-7,000 m/s. Detonating fuses are classified according to the amount of PETN in their content.
