PETN-based with synthetic elastomer binder system
SPEEREX
SPEEREX is an ultra-high velocity plastic explosive optimized for anti-armor applications. It delivers maximum brisance in a compact form factor, making it ideal for shaped charges, EFPs, and tandem warhead precursors. Designed to overcome modern armor systems, SPEEREX is engineered for missions requiring directional energy transfer and penetration, especially from small, unmanned, or man-portable platforms
