No. 8 Blasting Cap
A standard detonating cap used in mining and quarrying operations to initiate the detonation of high explosives like dynamite. It consists of a small metal shell containing a primary explosive charge sensitive to shock or percussion. Classified under HTS 3603.40.00.00 as a detonating cap designed for blasting purposes.
Non-Electric Delay Blasting Cap
A detonating cap incorporating a pyrotechnic delay element that allows for timed detonation sequences in tunnel blasting. The cap uses a shock-sensitive primary explosive initiated by a fuse. Falls under HTS 3603.40.00.00 due to its function as a non-electric detonating cap.
MS Delay Detonator Connector
A millisecond delay detonator cap used in surface mining to create precise blast patterns minimizing vibration. It connects to shock tube systems for non-electric initiation. HTS 3603.40.00.00 covers these specialized detonating caps.
Percussion Primer Cap
A sensitive percussion cap used in industrial riveting and demolition operations, initiated by mechanical impact. Contains primary explosive for reliable shock initiation. Properly classified under HTS 3603.40.00.00 as detonating caps.
