TOVEX® SEISMIC EXPLOSIVE Has proven a consistently performance, high safety in shot hole explosive that provides performance equivalent to dynamite with increased safety for seismic prospecting. Tovex ® is particularly well suited for sleeper charges because of its resistance to water and to desensitization under high hydrostatic pressure. Tovex ® s water gel offers increased safety to impact, shock and fire and gives high energy level when compared to dynamite.
