Gelatine-Cheddit

Gelatine-Cheddit (Ger). Gelatinous expls based on chlorates, such as Na chlorate 70 Sc Collodion Cotton gelatinized with NG. They might serve as substitute Dynamites... 

Gelatine-Cheddite (Swiss). Plastic chlorate expls invented in 1911 by C. Rubins and then manufd by the Schweizerische Sprengstoff AG Chcddite and Dynamit. These expls are srable and do not harden in storage. The prepn and oompn of one of the earliest formulations is given by Stettbacher in Ref 1. 

The CSE also conducted research on Gelatin-Cheddites, which were already known in Switzerland and in Italy(See Swiss Ital Gelatin-Cheddites in Table 4). A corresponding French formulation, known as On°18 was really no improvement over Swiss Ital types. 

It was difficult to detonate unless detonating cord was used. Much more powerful "Gelatin -Cheddites" were obtained when Na chlorate was replaced by Amm perchlorate and when PETN was incorporated(See below under Perchlorate Cheddites)... 

Gelatine-Cheddite. See under Cheddites in Vol 2, p C159, Table 4... 

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. 

Gelatin-Cheddite Swiss chlorate expl(see the text) GR gunnery range... 

Dynamit at Liestal and Isleton. It manufd Sprenggelatine (Blasting Gelatin) (with or without NGc) and safety Dynamites, such as Telsil and Gelatine-Cheddit.
