Electrically ignited initiating explosive for igniting boosters or propellant charges or for generating compressed gas

摘要

Electrically ignited initiating explosives for boosters or propellant charges or for generating compressed gas comprise 2-diazo-4,6- or -2,6-dinitrophenol, dipicrylditetrazole, the salts of 2-diazo-4,6-dinitro- or 4-diazo-2,6-dinitro-resorcinol, dinitrobenzofuroxan, trinitrophenol or trinitroresorcinol, or a mixture of these. Independent claims are also included for (a) igniter compositions for these applications, containing initiator(s) as above and oxidizing agent(s); (b) explosive charges comprising a combination of an initiator or igniter composition as above (1st charge) with an ignition mixture (2nd charge); (c) a method for igniting boosters or propellant charges etc. in which an initiating explosive or igniter composition as above is ignited electrically.
