17 Feb 1977TL;DR: An explosive composition containing an intimate mixture of 15 to 45% by weight of a particulate high explosive from the group consisg of RDX (1,3,5-trinitro-1, 3, 5-triazacyclohexane) and HMX(1,5,7-tetranitro- 1, 3.5, 5.7, 7.5), and mixtures thereof, 15 to 50% of ammonium nitrate, and 20 to 60% of ethylenediamine dinitrate, was proposed
Abstract: An explosive composition containing essentially of an intimate mixture of 15 to 45% by weight of a particulate high explosive from the group consisg of RDX (1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazacyclohexane) and HMX (1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetraazacyclooctane and mixtures thereof, 15 to 50% by weight of ammonium nitrate, and 20 to 60% by weight of ethylenediamine dinitrate; Wherein the weight ratio of ammonium nitrate to ethylenediamine dinitrate is from 1:2.5 to 1.5:1, respectively, and particularly about 1:1. These explosive compositions provide an unexpectedly high explosive output with a relatively low content of RDX and/or HMX, and an equivalent output with much less RDX than conventional explosive compositions consisting of mixtures of RDX with AN and/or TNT.

TL;DR: In this paper, a procedure for the separation and identification of the major components of the military plastic explosive composition C-4 is described, and the explosive (RDX), plasticizer, and rubber binder are separated by selective solvent extraction and filtration.
Abstract: A procedure for the separation and identification of the major components of the military plastic explosive composition C-4 is described. The explosive (RDX), plasticizer, and rubber binder are separated by selective solvent extraction and filtration, and the extracts are analyzed by multiple internal reflection infrared spectroscopy.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors define a reference composition A, a composition consisting of 45-55 pts. of gypsum, a high-gypsum containing composition B, and a composition of 30-33 pts.
Abstract: PURPOSE: To provide a treating agent for making harmless and solidifying waste, flying ash and the like in order to recycle them. CONSTITUTION: A composition consisting of 65-75 pts.wt. of portland cement, 23-18 pts.wt. of blast furnace cement and 12-7 pts.wt. of gypsum is defined as a reference composition A, a composition consisting of 45-55 pts.wt. of portland cement, 33-28 pts.wt. of blast furnace cement and 22-17 pts.wt. of gypsum is defined as a high-gypsum containing composition B, and a composition consisting of 30-33 pts.wt. of ligninsulfonate, 30-33 pts.wt. of calcium chloride and 40-34 pts.wt. of sodium tripolyphosphate and/or alkaline metal polyphosphate is defined as a composition C. The composition contains 97-99 pts.wt. of the composition A or B or an intermediate composition of A and B and 3-1% of the composition C. In the case compacting is possible, the composition A is used, and in the case of highly contained water, the composition B is used. In the case a lot of harmful metal is contained, the used ratio of the composition C is increased. The sum of the composition ratios is 100 pts.wt.

5 Feb 2002TL;DR: In this article, a composition C-4 substitute is provided, the substitute include 2,4,6,8,10, 12hexanitro-2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12-hexaazatetracyclo(5.5.0?5, 9, 3,11?)-dodecane (CL-20), optionally one or more nitramines other than CL-20, and silicone fluid.
Abstract: A composition C-4 substitute is provided, the substitute include 2,4,6,8,10, 12-hexanitro-2,4,6,8,10, 12-hexaazatetracyclo(5.5.0.0?5,9,3,11?)-dodecane (CL-20), optionally one or more nitramines other than CL-20, and silicone fluid. Also provided is an additive composition including CL-20 and bis(dinitropropyl) acetal and bis(dinitropropyl)formal(BDNPA/F). The additive composition is preferably combined with composition C-4. Furthermore a method for loading a warhead case with a shapeable charge is provided using a composition C-4 substitute.
