Det-Pads

The Det-Pad Range

Developed at the request of the user community, Det-Pads provide a way of working near detonators with minimised fragmentation risk.

Detonators and the plastic moulded connectors for detonating cord are sources of fragmentation. For some specialist roles such as explosive breaching/ EMOE, the circumstances can dictate that the operator is within range of this fragmentation.

Det-Pads mitigate the blast and massively reduce the energy of the fragmentation without impeding the function of the explosive elements contained within.

Using the Det-Pad System

The Det-Pads are a folded design with the three open edges being sealed by Velcro. This can be done in all weather, with gloved hands and one handed if required. The system is tolerant in alignment of the folded faces.

Configurations

The Det-Pads come in two sizes. Variant ‘A’ is the smaller and designed to enclose a single fragmentation source. The larger Det-pad Variant ‘B’ is designed to enclose two separated fragmentation sources.

For non-tactical roles where safety and the ability to number the sequence in which detonators have been isolated and removed, Det-Pads are also available in red with a white patch on which to write.
