Recrystallised RDX for RDX/Polyethylene Wax Compositions

摘要

The impact and shock sensitivities of RDX/polyethylene wax compositions prepared from RDX Grade A Class 1 (recrystallised from cyclohexanone) have been measured using the Rotter Impact Test and Gap Test respectively, and the results have been compared with those obtained for compositions prepared from RDX Grade B Class 1 (milled and boiled). The increased impact sensitivity and decreased shock sensitivity of the compositions based on the recrystallised RDX are attributed to the presence of occluted cyclohexanone and the increased particle size.
