Definitions

• the invention relates to a hexogen explosive as set forth in the classifying portion of claim 1.
• An explosive of that kind is to be found in DE 37 39 191 Al. Described therein is a castable explosive with a plastic binder.
• the object of the present invention is to propose a 15 hexogen explosive which satisfies the above-indicated condition.
• the explosive becomes surprisingly more insensitive but more powerful.
• hexogen type B can be used as the explosive. This is inexpensive and environmentally friendly.
• the proportion of octogen in the hexogen type B of at least 5% in relation to the explosive provides that the explosive charge disposed in a receptacle does not progressively burn away after it is ignited.
• the cylinder remains substantially intact. Only weak points such as closure caps come away. No air shockwave is formed.
• the operative mechanism of the invention is based on a change in phase of the octogen, from a temperature of 167° C. As a result there is an abrupt increase in volume which takes effect at intended desired-rupture locations or separation locations.
• the invention can be used in relation to explosives with pure hexogen type A and insensitive hexogen types (iRDX). Through an addition of at least 5% of octogen, there is maintained a thermal insensitivity of also other mixtures of explosives, which already possess adequate shockwaves; where the exceptions are mixtures of explosives which contain TNT in an unbonded condition.
• iRDX insensitive hexogen types
• the invention is particularly suitable for pressed insensitive explosive mixtures in which coarse-grain and fine-grain explosive crystals 15 are bound by a binder system comprising a plasticiser such as DOA and HYTEMP®, see in that respect the patent application filed on the same day, bearing the filing number ______.
• a plasticiser such as DOA and HYTEMP®
• HYTEMP® registered trademark of ZEON Chemicals L.P., 4100 Bells Lane, Louisville, Ky. 40211.
