DynaLoc™ Type 2 Outdoor Magazine
For portable outdoor storage of your high explosives. Many models include forklift pockets for easy relocating. U.S. Chemical Storage engineers durable Type 2 portable outdoor storage for your high explosives. Each explosive storage magazine features ¼-inch steel plate construction lined with 3 inches of non-sparking hardwood and a double locking door system.
For storage purposes, federal requirements classify explosive materials according to their velocity. There are three classes of explosive materials, per ATF 27 CFR 555.202:
High Explosives – explosives which detonate by means of a blasting cap (dynamite, emulsions, flash powders, etc.)
Low explosives – explosives which deflagrate when confined (black powder, safety fuses, ignitor cords, “display fireworks,” etc.)
Blasting agents – explosives consisting of fuel and oxidizer, intended for blasting and unable to detonated by a No. 8 test blasting cap when unconfined (ammonium nitrate-fuel oil and certain water-gels)
2. Do I need a foundation for my explosive storage?
It is not necessary to place your explosive storage container on a specific type of foundation. However, a foundation such as concrete can help to provide a truly level surface. Be sure to check your local guidelines to determine if any footer is required.
3. Does my explosive storage need to be grounded?
Yes. High and low explosives that are placed in outdoor magazines should have a grounding system according to the NFPA 70 standard. Grounding protects your magazine and its contents against lightning strike, and it will need to be properly grounded by a licensed electrician. For more information, please refer to NFPA .
