A melt-cast explosive which shares comparable explosive properties to those of COMP B explosives and is melt-pourable and castable under conditions comparable to those of COMP B explosives, but experiences less impact, shock, and thermal sensitivity and avoids the issues of toxicity associated with COMP B. A fundamental and well-accepted component of COMP B, i.e., trinitrotoluene (TNT), is replaced with one or more mononitro-substituted or dinitro-substituted melt-cast binders, such as dinitroanisole, which can be melt-cast without presenting the toxicity drawbacks experienced with the use of TNT. The melt-cast binder can also be combined with a processing aid selected from the group consisting of alkylnitroanilines and arylnitroanilines. Preferably, the composition also includes coarse oxidizer particles and energetic filler in fine particulate form.
一种熔铸炸药,其爆炸特性与 COMP B 炸药相似,在与 COMP B 炸药相似的条件下可熔可铸,但冲击、震荡和热敏感性较低,并避免了与 COMP B 炸药相关的毒性问题、三
硝基甲苯(TNT)被一种或多种一硝基取代或二硝基取代的熔铸粘合剂(如
二硝基苯甲醚)所取代,这种粘合剂可以熔铸而不会产生使用 TNT 时所产生的毒性问题。熔铸粘合剂还可以与选自烷基
