Physical & Safety Tests on MMAN Sensitised Watergel Explosives

摘要

Kelvex Watergel Explosives are produced by gelling and chemically cross-linking saturated aqueous solutions containing suspended solids and consisting of water, oxidiser sails, fuels, sensitisers etc. The aqueous phase is thickened with natural gum and chemically cross-linked to form a gel. process control plays an important role in achieving proper consistency in product quality. Batches are continuously monitored during manufacture and necessary adjustments are made. A number of tests are conducted during and after. Testing of explosives is very important to ensure safety in handling and transport, stability in storage and also to ensure adequate shelflife and performance. All watergel products are subjected to certain physical and sensitivity tests to verify that the products are within the specified monitoring limits.
