SEBEX 2: India boosts warhead and bomb lethality with new explosive
India has achieved a significant milestone with the successful development of a new explosive capable of doubling the lethality of warheads and bombs. Known as SEBEX 2, certified by the Navy, it stands among the most potent conventional explosives globally.
India has made substantial strides in military technology with the development of SEBEX 2, a new explosive that boasts 2.01 times the lethality of TNT. This advancement signifies a remarkable increase in destructive power and lethality, as explosives with higher TNT equivalence are known to possess greater potency.
SEBEX 2, certified for its enhanced firepower capabilities, marks a crucial development in India’s defence capabilities. SEBEX 2 is a new explosive formulation that provides a much more powerful blast effect than any currently available solid explosive.
Economic Explosives Ltd, a subsidiary of Solar Industries, Nagpur, has developed three new explosive formulations that can prove to be a game changer for our armed forces due to the sheer enhancement of firepower and explosive effect.
According to solar industry officials, “Conventional Explosives, like DENTEX/ TORPEX, which are used in conventional warheads, aerial bombs, and many other ammunitions worldwide have the TNT equivalence of 1.25-1.30.”
