PROCESS FOR PREPARING A HIGH POWER EXPLOSIVE, HIGH POWER EXPLOSIVE PRODUCED THEREBY AND METHOD FOR SHAPING A HIGH POWER

摘要

A process for preparing a high power explosive including the steps of preparing an aqueous dispersion of a stabilizing and binding agent by mixing an aqueous polymer dispersion with a lubricant with an aqueous paraffin dispersion and with a filler in the presence of usual additives. Blending the aqueous dispersion of the stabilizing and binding agent with a dry powerful explosive compound like cyclotetramethylenetetranitramine or cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine and warm-drying the blend thus obtained to yield a high power explosive comprising at least 90 percent by weight of the powerful explosive compound and a maximum of 10 percent by weight of the stabilizing and binding agent.
