Gelatin dynamites Gelatine-Dynamite

Their, definition is given here under GELA" TIN, sad various expls are described under the titles of Gelatine Astra lit, Gelatine Carbonic, Gelatin Dynamite, Gelatin Dynamite etc... 

Nitrogelatines. Fr term for Blasting Gelatin. Other terms include Gelatine Dynamite, Gelatine Explosible, Gelatine, Dynamite-Gelatine, etc Ref Daniel (1902), 325 523... 

Accdg to Meyer (Ref 1, p 401), expls used in seismic exploration must be especially water-resistant, very powerful to give expl waves which will be readily detectable over large areas within die limits of the instruments used, and have a high detonation velocity. Blasting Gelatin and Gelatin Dynamites... 

Dynamites, gelatine dynamites or gelatines—explosives with high contents of nitroglycerine. In the second group collodion cotton is used to form a gel with nitroglycerine. 

In the manufacture of Blasting Gelatin and Gelatin Dynamites, Collodion Cotton which is prepd in the manner described in Vol 2 of Encycl (Ref 60, p C103 R), is used. Before using stabilized material, known as "Dynamite Cotton , it is dried at 40° and tested for its gelatinizing pro-... 

As examples of expls suitable for use in. nongaseous coal mines, may be cited several types of dynamites developed by Nobel, such as Gelatin-Dynamites, Semigelatin-Dynamites (such as Gelignites) Straight Dynamites... 

Gelatinerad Dynamit (Gelatin Dynamite). This expl was invented in 1875 by A. Nobel. He dissolved small amounts of collodion cotton in slightly warmed NG and incorporated into the resulting soft jelly some BlkPdr, saltpeter (K nitrate) or woodmeal. A typical Dynamite contained NG 62.5, collodion cotton 2.5, K nitrate 27, and woodmeal 8%. Present commercial Gelatin Dynamites axe essentially unchanged from the original inventions of Nobel, except that BlkPdr as such is not added... 

Gelatine Aldorfit (Gelatin Dynamite). Same as Gelatine-Gamsit (above). See also Vol 2, B119-R and Vol 3, C443-R... 

Gelatine-Cheddit (Gelatin Dynamite). A plastic chlorate expl invented in 1911. by C. Rubin at Liestal, and later manufd by the Schweizerische Sprengstoff-Fabrik AG Cheddit Dynamit. 

Uses As gelatinizing agent for nitroglycerine in manufacture of Blasting Gelatine and Gelatine Dynamite. See Nitrocellulose, Oktonitrocellulose, Tetranitrocel-lulose, Enneanitrocellulose, Dekanitrocellulose. 

Nobel s inventions of blasting gelatin and gelatin dynamite are both covered by the same patent. Seven or 8% of collodion cotton dissolved in nitroglycerin converted it to a stiff Jelly which was suitable for use as a powerful high explosive. Solvents, such as... 

Gelignite formed 10.2 per cent of the total quantity of explosives used in mines and quarries in this country during 1909, and blasting gelatine and gelatine dynamite together formed 2 per cent. (H.M.I. report).
