Popis:	Polymer Bound Explosives (PBXs) and Class 1.1 Military Propellants have been reformulated for use in the mining industry. There is a minimal waste stream. The explosives are sensitive to initiation by a #8 cap. Impact sensitivities have routinely passed 5 kg meter stimuli, initiation by 50,000 V AC and the BAM friction protocols at 1000 rpm under a 11 kg load for 10 seconds. The explosives were packed into sticks, slurried or used as pourable mixes. VoDs of 2.4 to 6.2 km/s were realized with τ = 0.9 — 1.35 t/m3. The explosives have powers comparable to a range of dynamites. The Beaver Code based upon Lotus 1.2.3 —gTM was developed to predict explosive properties.
