TL-170 blasting agent

TL-170 blasting agent. Edwards, Donald W.; Thomas, Ronald D. (Angus Chemical Co., USA). U.S. US 4431468 A 14 Feb 1984, 4 pp. Cont.-in-part of U.S. Ser. No.Some commonly used reagents like 6484-52-2 and 79-46-9 are used in this experiment. 152,074, abandoned. (English). (United States of America). CODEN: USXXAM. CLASS: IC: C06B045-02. NCL: 149021000. APPLICATION: US 83-465241 9 Feb 1983. PRIORITY: US 80-152074 21 May 1980. DOCUMENT TYPE: Patent CA Section: 50 (Propellants and Explosives) Blasting agents with a high d., high and long-term sensitivity, and consisting of relatively dry granules are prepd. from NH4NO3 80-84, a C2-3 nitroalkane 2-20, d.-improving agent 2-8, and a thickening agent 0.1-2 wt.%. Thus, 82 g NH4NO3 prills were ground and mixed with 1-nitropropane [108-03-2] 13, wheat flour 4 g, and 60-mesh Polyox 301 [25322-68-3] 1%. The explosive had a std. d. of 1.22 and, after standing 24 h, was sensitive to the shock of 10 g Pentolite, having an unconfined detonation rate of 10,200 ft/s in a 3-in. diam. column. The packaging for the explosive must contain nylon film with thickness 31.25 to prevent evapn. of the nitroalkanes. Explosives prepd. without the wheat flour or Polyox were insensitive to no. 8 caps and did not detonate on initiation. .

Liquid explosive compositions for field operations

Liquid explosive compositions for field operations. Trocino, Joseph L. (USA ). U.S. US 4411718 A 25 Oct 1983,4 pp. (English). (United States of America). CODEN: USXXAM. CLASS: IC: C06B047-04. NCL: 149074000. APPLICATION: US 81-314677 26 Oct 1981. DOCUMENT TYPE: Patent CA Section: 50 (Propellants and Explosives) Liq. explosive and blasting compns. useful for military and nonmilitary purposes are prepd. from 22.0-37.1 nitropropane (I) and 62.9-78.0 wt.% HNO3 (contg. 25.0-40.05% H2O) wherein the I is a mixt. of 1-nitropropane [108-03-2] and 2-nitropropane [79-46-9]. Thus, a mixt. of 23.45 I and 76.55 wt.% HNO3, which recalcs. to I 23.45, HNO3 49.76, and H2O 26.79 wt.%, has a 50% gap sensitivity of 0.47 in. and detonation velocity 6441 m/s, compared to 2.7 in. and 7960 m/s, resp., for RDX.
