CAP-SENSITIVE PACKAGED EMULSION EXPLOSIVE HAVING MODIFIED PARTITION BETWEEN SHOCK AND GAS ENERGY

摘要

A cap-sensitive emulsion explosive capable of being used in packaged explosive products. The explosive contains amminium nitrate grills of a bulk density of 0.70 to 1.00 g/cc, with a particle density of 1.25 to 1.40 g/cc. A poly[alkenyl]succinic anhydride based emulsifying agent is used as an emulsifying agent. Packaged explosives prepared according to the present invention have improved package stability, and allow for control of the ratio of shock energy to heave energy.
