SEBEX 2: By developing and certifying SEBEX 2, a new explosive 2.01 times more powerful than conventional TNT, India has made a significant defense technological accomplishment. One of the strongest non-nuclear explosives available worldwide, the Indian Navy tested and approved this explosive. This development is expected to greatly enhance the destructive power of various weapons, like artillery shells, aircraft bombs, and warheads, without making them heavier.
Groundbreaking Developments in Lethality
An explosive’s power is often compared to TNT, showing how destructive it is relative to TNT. The strongest explosive currently used in India has a TNT equivalency of about 1.50 and is used in missile warheads like the BrahMos. Most conventional explosives around the world have a TNT equivalency between 1.25 and 1.30. SEBEX 2, with a TNT equivalency of 2.01, is a big improvement in destructive power.
According to Financial Express, Economic Explosives Limited (EEL), as part of the Made in India project, developed SEBEX 2 using high-melting explosive (HMX) technology. This composition greatly increases the damage potential of weapons through explosion and fragmentation effects. The Navy has thoroughly tested SEBEX 2 and has certified it under the Defense Export Promotion Scheme.

Possibility of Worldwide Effect
With the help of SEBEX 2, India has become a big player in the world’s defense business and improved its defense capabilities. Armed forces all over the world that want to make their guns better should choose SEBEX 2. It is very effective and deadly. Exporting SEBEX 2 is a great idea because many armies want to improve their attacking power without adding weight or bulk.
Explosives Have Made More Progress
SEBEX 2 is not the last thing that EEL has done. The company is creating a different form that will most likely be 2.3 times stronger than TNT. In the next six months, this new version should be out, which will make guns even more deadly.
The Navy has also cleared many of EEL’s other cutting-edge explosives, such as SITBEX1, which was the company’s first thermobaric explosive. The SITBEX1 produces extreme heat and long-lasting explosions that make it very useful against enemy bunkers, tunnels, and other defenses. In recent fights, this explosive has done a lot of damage.

Improved Security Using SIMEX 4
Explosives must be stored, transported, and used with extreme caution. To fix this, the Navy has approved the insensitive munition SIMEX 4 made by EEL.
SIMEX 4 is much safer than regular explosives because it is much less likely to go off by accident. Because of this, it works especially well in places where security is important, like the small spaces inside subs where torpedo warheads are kept.
A history of success
As part of the Made in India program, EEL made these new bombs to show that the country’s defense technology is getting better. When you use high-melting explosives (HMX), you can see how well and reliably these combinations work. These improvements make India’s weapons more powerful and help the country reach its more lofty goal of making all of its own defense weapons.
