A Guide to Different Types of Detonators

Updated: Aug 7, 2023

Different detonators serve various purposes for each kind of blasting operation including mining, quarrying, or demolishing.

Types of Detonators

When it comes to various blasting operations, the commercial players swear by certain accessories that are offered by the top industrial explosive suppliers in India. Without these accessories, it would be impossible to carry out any operation, especially the detonators. This is because the detonators are those blasting caps that are responsible for triggering an explosive device. And since the technology has evolved so much and the mining explosives manufacturers have made sure to serve their customers with the best of the detonators. Today there are many kinds that you will find in the market.


Therefore, if you are looking for a good detonator for your next blasting project, here are a few types that you can choose based on the type of project you have.


2) Electric Detonator

As the name itself says, the electric detonator is initiated by electricity and they are extremely sensitive to shock, radiofrequency energy, heat, static electricity, and electromagnetic radiation. Three kinds are offered by the industrial explosive suppliers in India, short delay detonators (SDD), instantaneous electrical detonators (IED), and long delay detonators (LDD). Depending upon the volume and type of your operation, you can choose the right one.


3) Non-Electric Detonator

If you are looking for an option that gives more operational flexibility, then a non-electric detonator should be your choice. With a non-electric detonator, you can design larger initiation sequences with an unlimited number of delays and are safer as compared to the electric detonators. They are not sensitive to electromagnetic radiation, electricity, and radiofrequency energy.


4) Copper Delay Detonator

The copper delay detonators are made of copper shells that are filled with PETN which is the base charge and mixed with a primary charge. When it comes to copper delay detonators, certain safety precautions need to be followed strictly because they are extremely sensitive components and monitored to ensure that the flow of current is going as per the given parameters.


5) Electronic Detonator

If you are looking for the highest level of quality, security, precise timing, and control to ensure that the blasting results are consistent, then an electronic detonator is just the right thing for you. It can be used for many purposes including demolishing, mining, quarrying, and many more.
