Explosive Simulant Kit
The explosive simulant kit is a hands-on tool containing representative simulants of common commercial and improvised explosive materials as well as common initiators. These simulants consist of both visual simulants (look) and tactile simulants (look and feel). The kit can be used by trainers, airport security, border security, law enforcement and other interagency users. Each kit includes a user manual that describes the simulated explosives and the pre-cursors required to make these explosives. There are no hazardous materials contained within the kit. The kit is completely transportable via air or ground – the simulants are made from inert samples or components that are not regulated by the EPA, DOT, IATA or ICAO.
