A WATER-IN-OIL EMULSION EXPLOSIVE COMPOSITION AND A PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION THEREOF

摘要

This invention concerns a water-in-oil emulsion explosive composition which comprises a discontinuous aqueous phase containing one or more oxygen-releasing salts, a continuous water-immiscible organic phase comprising sump oil, and an emulsifying agent. The explosive compositions show improved sensitivity over conventional compositions made using paraffin oil as the organic phase.
