The EXPLO5™ is a multipurpose tool able to predict the energetic properties of single compounds or mixtures, the explosibility of possibly dangerous substances, the performance indicators of ideal and non-ideal explosives and propellants and the pyrotechnic compositions on a basis of chemical formula, heat of formation, and density. The code includes a large database of reactants and products.

APPLICATIONS

 The EXPLO5 may be used for a wide range of applications including safety management (within chemical/pharmaceutical labs), the numerical modelling of energetic materials, the formulation of new energetic compounds, and the optimization of industrial blasting operations. Typical users of the code are synthetic chemists, risk assessment managers, blasting engineers, researchers and any other specialists in the fields of energetic materials.
