DYNO® TX PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
 DYNO TX is a detonator sensitive, high energy, water
Small Diameter Detonator Sensitive Emulsion resistant, packaged emulsion explosive specifically designed for trenching, utility, road
 construction and most site preparation applications. It is recommended for use in very
 wet conditions, where explosive charges or decks need to be closely spaced and/or
 SDS where geological conditions promote “dynamic shock” in other emulsion explosives.
