Tovex
Tovex
(also known as
Trenchrite
,
Seismogel
, and
Seismopac
) is a
water-gel explosive
composed of
ammonium nitrate
and
methylammonium nitrate
that has several advantages over traditional
dynamite
, including lower toxicity and safer manufacture, transport, and storage. It has thus almost entirely replaced
dynamite
. There are numerous versions ranging from
shearing
charges to
aluminized
common blasting agents. Tovex is used by 80% of international
oil
companies
for
seismic exploration
.
