EURENCO offers one of the world’s widest range of Cast PBX solutions. This extensive know-
how is the outcome of continuous research effort and experience acquired over 40 years to
render munitions insensitive to accidental or intentional threats (fuel fire, bullet impact,
metallic fragment, drop, shock, etc.).
Thanks to these assets, EURENCO has become one of the key players in the field of Cast PBX
technology for Insensitive Munitions, and highly contributes to fulfil the new Armed Forces’
needs to:
> Reduce the vulnerability of combat platforms, warehouses and storage plants,
> Ensure total personnel safety,
> Increase performance of weapon systems,
> Lower operating and life cycle costs.
Furthermore, EURENCO is equipped with a complete range of cost-effective high-tech
manufacturing processes:
> Unique and revolutionary “bi-component” process for continuous production of shell
ammunition,
> Batch process for serial production of warheads, bombs and penetrators, torpedoes and
underwater mines.

EURENCO’s explosives also find applications in the Mining & Quarrying
industry, as it provides both purified HMX for shock tubes and mini-
boosters for ignition charges.
They are used to ignite slurries and emulsion to full detonation, by giving
the energy impulse necessary to initiate larger charges.
As an explosive manufacturer, EURENCO also provides RDX and PETN as
raw material for all types of initiation devices.

EURENCO manufactures high purity ADN, used as an oxidizer in liquid
mono-propellant for rocket engines in space applications.
LMP-103S fulfills space propulsion requirements, and compared with
hydrazine, it is less toxic and brings higher performance. Hence reducing
fueling cost and tank volumes, and enabling extended missions.
First tested by ECAPS (Swedish Space Corporate Group) in the PRISMA
satellite in 2010.

RAIL HARDENING
EURENCO manufactures an explosive specifically designed for rail hardening,
according to characteristics defined by rail equipment companies.
EURENCO also developed its own techniques to apply explosive for this
application, and provides all necessary services related to the completion
of this work: reception and preparation of railway tracks, application of
custom-made explosive sheet, and detonation.
EURENCO has the advantage of being able to rely on its Baussenq facility,
providing access to both storage and a detonating range.

AUTOMATIVE SAFETY
EURENCO provides single base and LOVA propellants to industrials
specialized in automotive safety.
Propellants are integrated into airbags and belt-restrainer systems, as
gas generators, in order to rapidly inflate the bag where airbags are
concerned, or retract the belt in the case of seat-belt pretensioners.
The use of one kind of propellant over the other depends on the
customer’s choice.

EURENCO’s spherical powder is also used in cartridges for professional
power tools, such as powder actuated nailers or cattle-slaughtering guns.
The high burning rate of spherical powder makes it ideal for this type
of application, which requires the delivery of high energy with a small
propellant volume.
