Oil and Gas Well Application

Description: HMX explosive core
Shrink resistant braid (yellow)
Nylon jacket, High Flexibility (green)
NYLON
JACKET
Application: Special process Detotec 80 HMX PERFACORD® designed for use in "High Shot Density" perforating systems where charge interference may be of concern. This product employs "shrinkage resistant" construction materials with a higher nominal velocity of detonation (+ 13% nominal) than the standard HMX cord. A more flexible nylon jacket facilitates easier installation in the newer combination (wireline/or TCP) high shot density systems that employ significant charge alignment deviations. Recommended service applications are within the normal HMX operating range (see graph). The use of this product, exposed to well bore conditions, is not recommended. Users must satisfy themselves as to the product's suitability for an exposed application.

Temperature resistance is based upon the manufacturer's laboratory tests in air at ambient pressure only. No claim, representation, or warranty of any kind is made, expressed or implied, as to the temperature resistance of this product under actual conditions. Users must satisfy themselves as to the product's suitability for a specific application.
Shrinkage is defined as core "pull-back" inside the outer jacket.
Velocity was tested unconfined, at ambient pressure, and after "cool down".

Warning: Use of this product by persons who lack adequate training experience and supervision may kill or injure.
