Shock Tube

Shock Tube Supply Chain

Through ZMW’s network in more than 92 countries, we are able to source Shock Tube from many high-quality producers.  ZMW can arrange multiple and competitive product supply offers from all over the world.  

This multiple polymer extruded, high tensile strength Shock Tube ‘factory floor ready’ for final assembly onto elemented and loaded delay non-electric detonators. The Shock Tube is ready for use in semi-automated or robotically controlled Non-Electric Detonator Assembly Equipment.  The interior walls of the Shock Tube are coated with a thin layer of energetic materials that transmit explosives energy at a rate of approximately 2,000 meters per second. Once initiated, the shock tube transmits a signal to the Non-Electric Detonator with precise millisecond or instantaneous firing time.

The Non-Electric Detonator is a component that is coupled with Shock Tube in an explosives train that when initiated causes the detonation of a less sensitive, but substantially large explosive such as a booster to initiate booster sensitive explosives, or the main charge in the case of detonator sensitive explosives. Non-Electric Shock Tube is a linear transmission device designed to transmit an energetic signal through shock tube to a specific detonating output. Shock tube is a hollow extruded tube containing a thin layer of energetic material on its inner walls.Shock-Tube is a flexible extruded hollow polymer tube that is approximately 3 mm diameter.  Shock-Tube is a flexible extruded hollow polymer tube that is approximately 3 mm diameter wound onto 3,000 to 4,000 meter recyclable spools.
