Hello
With only two hits on Internet, I'm not so sure what type of explosive this might be
Thanks in advance
De vanligaste civila sprängämnena kan delas in i följande kategorier:
- Dynamiter. (Vanliga sorter: Dynamex, Donarit, Gelamon 30, Minex).
- Primärsprängämnen. (Nobel-Prime, ***förstärkarpatron KP***, innehållande sprängdeg)
- Emulsionssprängämnen. (Används ofta som bulksprängämne; blandas och pumpas ner direkt i borrhål).
- ANFO. (Blandningar med bland annat ammoniumnitrat och olja)
- Pulversprängämnen. (Gurit, svartkrut, pentylstubin, ammoniter).

detonator amplifier
See the link for use of "detonator amplifier" for the Nobel Prime product. Not sure what that "KP" designation indicates – is it a brand name perhaps?
The linked file also uses "small-hole primer" but I think the suggested term suits your context better.

Looking again at this, perhaps "small-hole primer" might be better after all, given that "-patron" suffix?

Thanks! From looking at your link, I do think we need input from someone more familiar with this than I re: "small-hole primer" as a possibility.

Primer/booster
Ok, if your not so sure, will go with this...
Does it count that I witnessed the effects of an emulsion blast first hand? At a Pennsylvania strip mine not Oklahoma City...though the explosive was the same -- fuel oil/fertilizer mix, otherwise known as ANFO, with dynamite booster (with blasting caps) ... Needless to say, I was impressed...
for more reading http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blasting_cap, where they say 'A blasting cap may also contain a booster, another less sensitive but more energetic explosive that makes the cap more powerful, and thus more reliable for detonating secondary explosives' and see http://www.tpub.com/gunners/3.htm
Otherwise the Orica mining stuff is interesting reading.

: I'd go for "KP primer" as used in the Orica reference.

booster cartridge
KP might be a company designation -- perhaps that of a company that produces booster cartridges. However, perhaps others have a different suggestion.
