Explosives - How to make an Explosive

Question 1

What is an explosive taggant?

Answer 1

• Taggants are uniquely encoded materials or chemistries that act as virtual “fingerprints”
• Taggants can be invisible to the naked eye or visible
• Can be detected with specially-engineered equipment or detected with low cost detectors for field testing.
• Taggant technology should be extremely difficult to reverse engineer.
• Once integrated into an item, taggants should mark the item permanently and not be removable.
