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

In the production of pourable plastics-bonded bursting charges (I), consisting of a crystalline explosive embedded in a polymer matrix formed from a binder, a plasticizer and auxiliaries, (I) contains 0.1-10 wt. % of metal powder (II), in which the metal is one or more of vanadium, niobium, tantalum, chromium, molybdenum and tungsten and the powder is in the form of 0.1-5 mu m spherical particles. In the production of pourable plastics-bonded bursting charges (I), consisting of a crystalline explosive embedded in a polymer matrix formed from a binder, a plasticizer and auxiliaries, (I) contains (as a further auxiliary) 0.1-10 (preferably 2-5) wt. % of metal powder (II), in which the metal is one or more of vanadium, niobium, tantalum, chromium, molybdenum and tungsten and the powder is in the form of 0.1-5 mu m spherical particles.
