| The Explosive Charges and Additives Business Unit roots for cast
PBX activities date back more than 40 years and stem from
the SNPE Matériaux Energétiques expertise in high explosives
and solid propulsion. Supported by the SNPE Matériaux Energétiques
Research Center at Le Bouchet, the SNPE Matériaux Energétiques
Saint-Médard Trials Center and the Sorgues production plant,
EURENCO has acquired an unmatched knowledge and experience in new
generation high-tech explosives. |

World leader in this field, EURENCO offers a wide range of
cast PBX compositions that render munitions insensitive
to accidental or intentional threats (fuel fire, bullet impact,
metallic fragment, drop, shock…) and highly resistant to operational
constraints (thermal, mechanical, aging…), while providing
top level performance.
Due to these assets, EURENCO cast PBX
solutions have played a leading part in the field of Insensitive
Munitions (i.e. French MURAT concept).
