The first dip given to a fusehead is known as the flashing composition and is of particular importance. Originally copper acetylide was used for this purpose, but it has been superseded by more stable materials. Three common compositions are based on lead picrate, lead mononitroresorcinate and a mixture of charcoal and potassium chlorate respectively. These materials are suspended in a solution of nitrocellulose in amyl acetate and amyl alcohol, known as Zapon. One or more dips, with intermediate drying, give a layer of suitable thickness.

COPPER (7440-50-8) Cu The powder forms the friction-, heat-, or shock-sensitive explosive detonator, copper acetylide, with acetylene gas acetylenic compounds and ethylene oxides. The powder forms explosive materials with azides (e.g., sodium azide forms potentially explosive copper azide). Finely divided material forms friction-, heat-, or shock-sensitive explosive with powdered divided bromates, chlorates, and iodates of barimn, calcimn, magnesium, potassium, sodium, or zinc. Violent reaction, possibly explosive, when finely dispersed powder comes in contact with strong oxidizers ammonium nitrate alkynes, bromine vapor, calcium carbide, chlorine, ethylene oxide, hydrazine mononitrate, hydrogen peroxide, hydrogen sulfide, finely divided bromates, iodine, lead azide, potassium peroxide, sodium peroxide (incandescence), sulfuric acid. Incompatible with acids, anhydrous ammonia chemically active metals such as potassium, sodium, magnesium, and zinc, zirconium, strong bases. [Pg.278]

SULFUROUS OXIDE (7446-09-5) SO, Noncombustible liquefied gas under pressure or liquid. Contact with air forms hydrogen chloride fumes. Violent reaction with water or steam, forming sulfurous acid, a medium-strong acid and corrosion hazard.
