PVPD-N Series Blasting Cartridges

The PVPD-N and PVPD-N-165 insensitive safety-action blasting cartridges are designed to initiate detonating cord in carrier-type perforating and blasting equipment when performing perforating and blasting operations in oil and gas wells. They are insensitive to household and portable direct-current and industrial-frequency current sources, and to static electricity charges.
