UN 0360
Class: 1
Placard type: Explosive 1.1B
ERG: Guide 112 (check current ERG)
Isolation: ERG 112: Initial isolation 500m in all directions; if fire or cargo involved, evacuate 1600m radius; treat as mass detonation hazard
Chemical & Response Details
| Also known as | Non-electric detonatorsBlasting caps non-electricShock tube detonatorsNonel detonatorsDelay detonators non-electricBlasting initiators |
| Appearance | Cylindrical metal or plastic assemblies containing primary and secondary explosive charges, typically connected by shock tube or detonating cord. Various sizes from pencil-diameter to larger industrial units, often aluminum or copper colored. |
| Flash Point | Not applicable (explosive device) |
| Boiling Point | Not applicable (explosive device) |
| Vapor Density | Not applicable (solid device) |
| Water Reactivity | No significant reaction with water, but moisture may degrade sensitivity over time |
| Extinguishing | Do not use water or foam; use distance and protective barriers only; do not attempt fire suppression |
| PPE | ⚠️ Evacuation is primary response; if approach required, Level B with blast-resistant cover, SCBA mandatory, approach from maximum distance behind barriers |
| Isolation | ERG 112: Initial isolation 500m in all directions; if fire or cargo involved, evacuate 1600m radius; treat as mass detonation hazard |
Chemical details are general reference only. Always verify with current SDS, ERG, and SOP/SOG.
Common hazards (high level)
- Mass explosion hazard — entire load may detonate simultaneously.
- Severe blast overpressure and fragmentation.
- Sensitive to heat, shock, and friction.
- Secondary fire and debris hazard.
First actions (field-minded)
- CALL 911. Then call emergency response telephone number on shipping paper.
- Establish large isolation zone — minimum 500 meters in all directions.
- Stage upwind, uphill; limit personnel to essential responders only.
- Request Hazmat + law enforcement + additional resources immediately.
- Do not fight fire — evacuate and isolate; let burn if no life safety risk.
- Protect exposures only if safe and directed by command.
- Consult current ERG Guide 112 and follow SOP/SOG.
