Pourable bursting charge consisting of crystalline explosive embedded in a polymer matrix, containing finely divided metal powder, e.g. vanadium, as solid lubricant to provide low viscosity at high solids content

摘要

A pourable, plastic-bound explosive charge has a crystalline explosive substance embedded in a polymer matrix which includes a binder, a softener and a metal powder. The metal powder which is added in a proportion of 0.1 to 10 weight % has substantially spherical grains and is one or more of the following materials: vanadium, niobium, tantalum, chromium, molybdenum or tungsten.
