Differentiation of Propellants, Explosives, and Pyrolants

On the other hand, pyrolants are required to have various characterishcs some are slow burning with deflagration, while others are very fast burning with detonahon. As shown in Table 10.1, energehc materials are divided into three major categories, i. e., propellants, explosives, and pyrolants, and are used for the indicated applications. 

Explosives detonation warheads, bombs, mines, blasting 

Pyrolants deflagration detonation gas generators, igniters, fireworks, squibs, safety fuses detonators, primers, initiators, detonating fuses
