The higher elastic modulus (a measure of structure in solution) of rhamsan suggests that it should be superior to xanthan as a stabiliser. Rhamsan also has improved salt compatibility and is used in fertiliser suspension (high polyphosphates) and explosives (high ammonium nitrate).

Acetylenes are of little promise in such reactions, because they require fairly drastic conditions, that is not compatible with the high explosion hazard of acetylenes. The reactions with dienes are often proceed unambiguously (1,2- and 1,4-addition) that makes it difficult to isolate individual compounds. 

Explosive chemicals tend to be governed by separate legislation, e.g., in the UK, The Classification and Labelling of Explosives Regulations 1983. These require the HSE to classify any explosive before it may be supplied. Under the scheme, explosives are labelled according to a classification based on hazard division (Table 12.7), and on compatibility (Table 12.8), which takes into account their sensitivity, explosivity and chemical nature. Labels are diamond shaped the top half is reserved for the pictograph and division number, the bottom half shows the hazard code and the classification number. Figure 12.1 shows the label for Class 1, Division 1.1, 1.2 or 1.3 explosive.

In the third step, the chemical structure is used to determine if the substance is compatible with materials which are common to the process unit, such as air, water, oxidizers and combustibles, acids, alkalies, catalysts, trace metals, and process utilities (see Section 2.2.4). Even if the substance is considered to be a non-explosion hazard (both nonenergetic and compatible with the...
