PROCESS OF MANUFACTURE OF FLAKY EXPLOSIVES Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: technology of production of explosives and compositions on their base. SUBSTANCE: process of manufacture of flaky explosives based on trinitrotoluene lies in heating of trinitrotoluene to melt, in addition of explosives with higher melting temperature - hexanitrostilbene or RDX to molten trinitrotoluene. Obtained melt of explosives is cooled on rotary cooled surface with subsequent removal of cooled film or drops of explosives from this surface. Drum or tape can be used in the capacity of rotary cooled surface. Powdery graphite or aluminum is added to explosives with higher melting temperature or to melt of explosives to reduce elecrifiableness. EFFECT: increased susceptibility of flaky trinitrotoluene to initiation pulse, conditions of flooding included. 2 cl, 2 tbl
