Castable high explosive compositions of low sensitivity

摘要

A high explosive composition comprisingPP2 to 57% ammonium nitratePP2 to 50% ethylenediamine dinitrate P P1 to 10% potassium nitratePP1 to 80% nitroguanidinePPThese explosive compositions possess physical and explosive properties comparable to those of explosive compositions based on TNT (2,4,6-trinitrotoluene); but they are relatively insensitive and less costly to manufacture and can be loaded into projectiles with existing melt/cast loading facilities.
