What Mercuric 5-nitrotetrazole (DXN-1) is, and how we evaluate it with MuniRem®.
What it is
DXN-1 is a mercury-based primary explosive used in some detonators. It is shock-sensitive and contains toxic mercury.
How MuniRem® treats it
DXN-1 is evaluated case by case with a treatability study. We confirm treatment on your material before any claims are made.
- Tell us the material, amount and where it is.
- A sample is bench-tested in a treatability study.
- An EPA-certified laboratory analyzes the results.
- Full-scale work is planned only if the results support it.
This material is evaluated case by case with a treatability study before any full-scale work.
