Description: Fuse assemblies are a pre-made fuse and cap with a specific length. The fuse cap is typically a number 8 strength or higher blasting cap, with a lead azide priming charge and PETN base charge inside an aluminum shell. The cap is attached to a length of safety fuse that has a burn rate of approximately 40 sec / ft +/- 10% at sea level.

Benefits: It is typically manufactured with a fuse shunt which is intended to ground the black powder to the cap and relieve static build up (required in Canada). They also typically have a rubber nipple on the end of the fuse to reduce the risk of static energy transfer and to keep moisture from entering the fuse train.       SDS
