What types of explosives can be detected?
Modern ETD systems can detect a wide range of commercial, military, and homemade explosives, including but not limited to:
- TNT, RDX, PETN, and HMX
- Ammonium nitrate-based mixtures
- Nitroglycerin and nitrocellulose
- TATP and HMTD (common homemade explosives)
- Plastic explosives (e.g., Semtex, C4)
RS DYNAMICS instruments are optimized to detect both pure explosives and complex mixtures.
