Pentex™ G L
Pentex™ G L boosters are made from a high explosive composition cast into a rounded square based plastic shell. Two through tunnels in the booster accommodate a detonator or detonating cord. Signal tube or lead wires are protected from damage by a dome at the top of the booster.
Pentex™ G L boosters contain a new detonator retaining feature, the racetrack, that securely holds the detonator in place during loading. The priming process requires the user to insert the detonator inside the detonator well and then wrap the wire or tube around the retaining racetrack underneath the dome. The wire or tube exits the top of the unit in the centre so the primed unit sits vertically while being lowered into the blasthole.
