A gas-impermeable sealer element (24, 124) for a detonator or other explosive initiation device includes a non-reactive sleeve (26, 126) having a channel (28, 128) formed therein. A reactive material strip (30, 130) is sealed within the channel for transmission of an explosive's initiation signal through the sealer element (24, 124), either alone or in cooperation with transfer charges located at the input and/or output end of the non-reactive sleeve (26, 126). The reactive material strip (30, 130) comprises a reactive metal wire or other substrate (34) having on one or both sides thereof a layer of reactive material (30, 130, 36), either reactive metal foils which react exothermically when ignited, or a deposited fuel-oxidizer reactive material. The reactive materials, upon being energized, react exothermically in the absence of atmospheric oxygen or other extraneous oxidizer and so may be encapsulated, sealed or otherwise isolated from the atmosphere in use.

1. In a sealer element for a device comprising an energy source and a pyrotechnic delay train, the sealer element having an input end and an output end and comprising a reactive material; the improvement comprising that the sealer element comprises a strip of reactive material defining at least one reaction path extending in a straight line for the entire distance from the input end to the output end, the reactive material being accessible for signal transfer communication at both the input end and the output end, the sealer element being configured to be disposed between such energy source and such pyrotechnic delay train, with the output end of the sealer element being in signal transfer communication with such pyrotechnic delay train, the reactive material comprises a solid material comprised of at least two different materials which, upon being energized, react with each other in an exothermic and self-sustaining reaction to generate a reaction product, and the reaction product is impermeable to gas flow therethrough including combustion gases generated by ignition and burning of the pyrotechnic delay train. 2. In a sealer element for a device comprising an energy source and a pyrotechnic delay train, the sealer element having an input end and an output end and comprising a reactive material, the sealer element further being configured to be disposed within such device; the improvement comprising that the sealer element comprises a strip of reactive material defining at least one reaction path extending in a straight line for the entire distance from the input end of the sealer device to the output end of the sealer device, whereby upon the reactive material being energized by the energy source the reactive material reacts along the reaction path to leave a residual reaction product along the reaction path, the sealer element being configured to be disposed between such energy source and such pyrotechnic delay train with the output end of the sealer element being in signal transfer communication with such pyrotechnic delay train, the reactive material comprises a solid material comprised of at least two different materials which, upon being energized, react with each other in an exothermic and self-sustaining reaction, the reaction product is impermeable to combustion gases generated by ignition and burning of such pyrotechnic delay train, and the sealer element is otherwise configured to provide a gas-impermeable seal which prevents passage of such combustion gases back past the sealer element. 3. The sealer element of claim 1 or claim 2 wherein the improvement further comprises that the reactive material comprises at least two different metals disposed in contact with each other and which, upon being energized by the energy source, react with each other to form an alloy of the at least two different metals. 4. The sealer element of claim 3 wherein the improvement further comprises that the at least two different metals are arranged in a plurality of alternate layers of the different metals. 5. The sealer element of claim 4 wherein the improvement further comprises that the alternate layers comprise a reactive multilayer foil laminate. 6. The sealer element of claim 1 or claim 2 wherein the improvement further comprises that the reactive material comprises a solid dried or cured ink-like composition containing an intimate admixture of a particulate fuel and a particulate oxidant. 7. The sealer element of claim 1 or claim 2 wherein the improvement further comprises that the reactive material is supported on a substrate. 8. The sealer element of claim 1 or claim 2 wherein the improvement further comprises that the sealer element further comprises a plug encapsulating the reactive material with only end portions of the reactive material exposed at, respectively, the input end and the output end of the sealer element. 9. The sealer element of claim 1 or claim 2 wherein the improvement further comprises that the sealer element further comprises a plug encapsulating the reactive material, the plug having an output transfer charge disposed at the output end of the sealer element in signal transfer communication with the reactive material, and a portion of the reactive material is exposed to such energy source at the input end. 10. The sealer element of claim 1 or claim 2 wherein the improvement further comprises that the sealer element further comprises a plug encapsulating the reactive material, the plug having an input transfer charge disposed at the input end of the sealer element and in signal transfer communication with the reactive material, and an output transfer charge at the output end of the sealer element which output charge is in signal transfer communication with the reactive material. 11. The sealer element of claim 1 or claim 2 wherein the improvement further comprises that the reactive material protrudes from the output end of the sealer element to provide a protruding end of the reactive material. 12. The sealer element of claim 11 wherein the improvement further comprises that the protruding end comprises a pointed, rigid end of the reactive material. 13. The sealer element of claim 1 or claim 2 wherein the improvement further comprises that the sealer element further comprises a plug encapsulating the reactive material, the plug having an output transfer charge disposed at the output end of the sealer element and in signal transfer communication with the reactive material, and a portion of the reactive material is exposed to the energy source at the output end. 14. The sealer element of claim 1 or claim 2 wherein the improvement further comprises that the reactive material defines a plurality of reaction paths disposed in parallel with each other. 15. In a device containing an ignition source, a pyrotechnic delay train and a sealer element interposed between the ignition source and the delay train, the improvement comprising that the sealer element is the sealer element of claim 1 or claim 2. 16. The device of claim 15 wherein the output end of the sealer element is in abutting contact with the pyrotechnic delay train.
