The History of Semtex Explosives

Search teams found luggage debris containing traces of plastic explosive. All four engines have also been identified in Lockerbie itself. The former regime exported a thousand tons of Semtex to Libya and yet 200 grams are enough to blow up an aircraft. Exposia later actively participated in finding ways of marking its explosives. In 1991 it voluntarily started adding an organic compound called DMNB which helps sniffer dogs to detect it.
