Since its invention by Alfred Nobel more than a century ago, dynamite has been a vital breakthrough in explosives. However, due to the potential hazards associated with the use, production, transportation, and storage of dynamite, as well as its toxic nature, serious concerns have been raised. After extensive research and studies, in 1974 Du Pont, the leading producer of Nitro Glycerin-based dynamite in the USA, introduced Tovex Water Gel, and two years later, they decided to cease their dynamite business in favor of Tovex.
