EX-L-EX-"A" Explosive Simulant

Explosive simulants are chemical formulations or other products used to mimic many aspects of commercial, military and improvised explosives. Simulants are used in training, testing and detection exercises of many types, where a totally safe substitute is needed.

Securesearch explosive simulant Ex-L-Ex-“A” comes in several different formulations. It is hot cast into molds of various dimensions. Once it has hardened, it is capable of simulating:

  • Dynamite

  • cast TNT demolition blocks

  • pressed TNT

  • Composition B demolition blocks

  • C4 demolition blocks and Semtex-H blocks

In thinner cast strips, sandwiched between layers of thin, rigid material, it will simulate sheet explosive such as Detasheet and Flex-X.

This product is relatively inexpensive, compared to Kynar and similar polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) plastics.

It can be supplied in rods, square and rectangular blocks, thin sheets and most other shapes. These shapes can be machined and can be drilled with a detonator well for insertion of an inert detonator in explosives detection exercises. The simulant can be supplied colored to match common explosives. It can also be supplied wrapped and labeled in the format of most military demolition blocks. (NATO and former Soviet bloc countries)

Ex-L-Ex-“A” has been tested by the Canadian Government on color and black and white x-ray systems and has been found to give an excellent representation of the explosives described above. Several formulations have also been tested in England on a wide variety of X-Ray equipment and in all cases have been found to provide excellent imaging characteristics of live explosives.

Securesearch, Inc. also makes a range of over 300 other inert training aids for use in explosive recognition training courses and for training in render-safe procedures.
