Explosives galactomannans

Gelled Explosives. Aqueous solutions of water-dispersible, nonionic, natural hydroxylated polymers, such as galactomannans and their derivatives, can be cross-linked with organic titanates, such as TYZOR TE, TYZOR AA, and TYZOR LA to give water-bearing gels, which can be used to formgeUed explosives (532—534).

A polysaccharide containing 95% or more mannose units which are (1 4) linked in the P-pyranosyl form with some a-D-galactopyranosyl units (1 6) linked along the main chain. The type of mannan depends on the ratio i> mannose D-galactose Galactomannan 1.04-5.26 1 Mannan A 50 1 Mannan B 90 1. Polymeric. Minimum formula given. Occurs in custard apple, ebony and palms. Ivory nut mannan is a major product. Used in prepn. of i>Mannose by hydrol. of ivory nut meal. Widely used in industry, notably in food, pharmaceuticals, paints and explosives.
