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

DEFENSE & SECURITY DEMOLITION EXPLOSIVES


A worldwide reference for demolition explosives, EURENCO
provides a complete range of plastic explosives for all types of
demolition, cutting and breaching operations.
Compliant with the new international requirements on the
marking of plastic explosives (Montreal Convention), they come
in different packages: malleable blocks, flexible sheets, adhesive
tape, extrudable paste.
With a strong emphasis on innovation and careful listening
of users’ expectations, EURENCO has also developed a new
generation of plastic explosives, based on plastic bonded
explosive (PBX) technology, addressing mainly Armed Forces,
and more particularly Special Forces and Army Combat Engineers.

OIL & GAS


Using its thorough experience in high explosives and propellants for
the military market, EURENCO produces high quality and high thermal
stability explosives suited for the Oil & Gas Industry, which are extensively
used in shaped charges for perforating guns in well completion.
Heat resistance is an important characteristic of the explosives used
for perforating deep oil wells, since the temperature in a drilled hole
increases with the depth. The same requirements exist in the gas industry.
For many years, EURENCO has worked in close partnership with shaped
charge manufacturers, and has constantly applied itself to extend
applications for its products through its development and production
means. Today, EURENCO continues to provide high explosives for such
perforating charges.

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
