Electric blasting caps are devices used to initiate explosions in various applications, such as mining, construction, and demolition. They contain a small amount of explosive material that is detonated by an electric current, providing a reliable and precise means of triggering larger explosives. These caps are designed to be safe and effective, minimizing the risk of accidental detonation. They are often used in conjunction with detonating cord or other explosives to ensure a controlled blast, making them essential tools in industries that require controlled demolition or excavation.
