Primary explosives include mercury fulminate [Hg(ONC)2, melting point 160°C with explosion, density 4.2], lead azide [Pb(N3)2, density 4.0], basic lead styphnate (lead trinitroresorcinate), diazodinitrophenol, and tetrazine (a complex conjugated nitrogen compound, melting point 140 to 160°C with explosion). Most priming compositions consist of mixtures of primary explosives, fuels, and oxidants. [Pg.234]

The explosive ingredient in Sinoxyd-type primers is lead styphnate (lead trinitroresorcinate), which is very sensitive to static electricity, and fatalities have resulted from handling the dry salt. Preparation of the pure salt is difficult, and many patented preparations, including basic modifications, exist. Some claim special crystalline forms and/or reduced static electricity hazard. Explosive ingredient substitutes for lead styphnate were sought that would be easier to make and safer to use. These included lead azide, diazonitrophenol, lead salts of many organic compounds, complex hypophosphite salts, pic-rate-clathrate inclusion compounds, and pyrophoric metal alloys. [Pg.47]

With regard to explosive power and sensitiveness trinitroresorcinol is similar to picric acid. Since its price is considerably higher than that of picric acid it is not used in explosive technology. Only lead trinitroresorcinate is of great practical importance as mi initiator (Vol. HI). On the whole the properties of trinitroresorcinol salts are similar to those of picrates. [Pg.539]

Treatment with chemicals (acids, alkalis, boiling with water) lead azide is destroyed by treatment with nitric acid in the presence of sodium nitrite lead trinitroresorcinate by treatment with nitric acid mercury fulminate by prolonged treatment with boiling nitric acid. [Pg.130]

In the absence of any admixtures, lead trinitroresorcinate readily acquires an electrostatic charge, easily causing explosion. [Pg.261]

Percussion caps serve as primers for propellant charges. In mechanical percussion caps, a friction-sensitive or impact-sensitive priming charge (containing, e.g., mercury fulminate with chlorates or lead trinitroresorcinate with Tetrazene) is ignited by the mechanical action of a firing pin. [Pg.307]

Tetrazene is an effective primer which decomposes without leaving any residue behind. It is introduced as an additive to erosion-free primers based on lead trinitroresorcinate in order to enhance the response. Its sensitivity to impact and to friction are about equal to those of mercury fulminate. [Pg.376]

Typical primary explosives are lead azide and lead styphnate (see Fig. 1.17). The latter one is less powerful than LA but easier to initiate. Tetrazene (Fig. 2.2) is often added to the latter in order to enhance the response (sensitizer). (N.B. mercury fulminate used to be used as a sensitizer). Tetrazene is an effective primer which decomposes without leaving any residue behind. It has been introduced as an additive to erosion-free primers based on lead trinitroresorcinate. Unfortunately, tetrazene is hydrolytically not entirely stable and in long term studies decomposes at temperatures above 90 °C. Diazodinitrophenol (Fig. 2.2) is also a primary explosive and is primarily used in the USA. However, the compound quickly darkens in sun-... [Pg.45]

Anwng other substances suggested as initiators are tetrazole derivatives, cyanuric triazide, lead trinitroresorcinate, hexamethylene triperoxidediamine and others. Normal lead dinitrosalicy late has a sensitiveness to shock substantially equal to that of mercury fulminate. [Pg.443]

In the examination of composite detonators containing lead aside in conjunction with trinitrotoluene or tetryl, the primary and secondary fillings are separated mechankatly and tested. If it is not found possible CO separate the two layers they are mixed together and the nitro-compound is extracted with absolute ether, orthonitrotoluene or other suitable solvent. The insoluble lead azide is dried at 70 and weighed. If lead trinitroresorcinate is also present, the content of lead and of aaide-rutrogen is determined. [Pg.444]
