PEPEX 1H
PEPEX 1H is a castable, high-energy plastic explosive composed primarily of RDX, PETN, and plasticized binders, designed for use in shaped charges, demolition warheads, and loitering munitions. It features a stiffer consistency than PEPEX 1A, offering increased structural integrity for molded or filled applications. PEPEX 1H delivers excellent detonation velocity, high brisance, and thermal stability in cold-weather and maritime environments. It is suited for field or factory filling of casings where consistent energy output and mechanical resilience are critical.
