Flexible Linear Shaped Charge (FLSC) is a continuous explosive core encased in a seamless metal sheath, such as aluminum, copper, lead, tin or silver. This continuous liner explosive produces a uniform linear cutting action. FLSC can be supplied in a grain size as small as 7gr/ft or as large as 4600 gr/ft.

Flexible Confined Detonating Cord (FCDC) is mild detonating cord that has various layers such as polyethylene, fiberglass, kevlar, stainless steel and copper wire braiding to ensure confinement of the products of detonation once the material has been incorporated into a complete assembly.

Small Column Insulated Delay (SCID) consists of a thin column of deflagrating pyrotechnic encased in a protective metal jacket with external insulation. SCID may be tightly coiled, formed into sharp bends without impairing its ability to propagate. SCID type time delays are extremely accurate and have experienced a longer shelf life than pressed column type delays.

Mild Detonating Cord (MDC) is metal clad linear explosive usually drawn or extruded in a round configuration. MDC can be rolled into an elliptical or flat ribbon shape based on customer requirements. Typically, grain sizes vary from 2.5 gr/ft to 100 gr/ft, but can be adjusted to fit customers specification requirements. MDC can be supplied in aluminum, tin, lead or silver sheath.

Rapid Deflagration Cord (RDC) is a very unique product manufactured by PSEMC. RDC is non-detonating and burns at a rate of approximately 1000 ft/sec. Functional throughout the temperature range of -200 ° to +370 ° C, RDC has been successfully subjected to high temperature storage of 5000 hours
at +205 ° C.
