The Identifier Explosives kit enables rapid assessment and identification of explosives and their precursors. Easy to use, rugged and reliable tools provide the user with information on homogeneity, sensitivity to impact and flammability of the tested materials. The number of specific and generic analytical assays identifies commercial, military and homemade explosives (HME) and components.

The Identifier Explosives kit features a set of tools and procedures to provide its user with the critical information on the unknown substances flammability, explosive behaviour, acid- base properties, aggressive/corrosive behaviour, reactivity with water, relative solubility and density. Wet and strip tests detect explosive fuel precursors such as hydrocarbons,  carbohydrates, heavy metals, sulphur and phosphorus. Oxidiser tests identify species known to be used with the explosive mixtures. Specific analytical assays target ammonium nitrate based explosives, PETN, RDX, TNT, Semtex, C3, C4, HMX, urea nitrate, chlorates, and azides.
