What are boosters? Boosters are high-energy explosive devices that amplify the initiation signal from a detonator, ensuring reliable initiation of bulk explosives like ANFO and emulsions. 

How do boosters work? Boosters pick up the initiation from a detonator and transfer it to the main charge. Their high detonation velocity ensures consistent energy delivery for optimal blasting results. 

Why is Pentex™ the best in market? Pentex™ boosters combine proven reliability, high-energy performance, and flexible configurations to suit diverse mining conditions worldwide. They are trusted for safety and efficiency. 

Why are Pentex™ boosters so popular? Pentex™ boosters are known for their consistent initiation power, adaptability to different hole sizes, and ability to perform in adverse conditions. 

What can Pentex™ work with? Pentex™ boosters are compatible with detonators and detonating cord, and they reliably initiate bulk explosives such as ANFO and emulsion blends. 

What detonators can Pentex™ boosters work with? Pentex™ boosters are compatible with high-strength electric, electronic, and non-electric detonators, as well as detonating cord for flexible initiation. Pentex™ boosters are the recommended initiation solution for most Orica bulk explosives products, including ANFO and emulsion blends. They are also used in conjunction with Orica initiating systems to deliver safe, efficient, and reliable blasting outcomes across surface and underground operations.
