Monomethylamine nitrate

Slurry explosives consist of saturated aqueous solutions of ammonium nitrate with sensitizing additives.[i-3] Nitrates such as monomethylamine nitrate, ethylene glycol mononitrate, or ethanolamine mononitrate are used as sensitizers. Aluminum powder is also added as an energetic material. Table 4.15 shows a typical chemical composition of a slurry explosive. It is important that so-called micro-bubbles are present within the explosives in order to facilitate the initial detonation and the ensuing detonation wave. These micro-bubbles are made of glass or polymeric materials. [Pg.109]

A mixture of AN and water forms a low-strength explosive referred to as a slurry or emulsion explosive. Since a mixture of AN and water cannot be detonated by initiation with a moderate detonation strength, to formulate practical slurry explosives nitrate esters such as monomethylamine nitrate, ethylene glycol mononitrate, or ethylamine mononitrate in conjunction with aluminum powder are added as sensitizers that facilitate the initiation of detonation. [Pg.262]

Monomethylamine Nitrate solutions containing 10 to 15% water are used as sensitizers in Slurry Explosives. Very recently a tank car filled with such a soln blew up in a railway yard in Wenatchee, Washington... [Pg.585]

Tovex. A series of slurry blasting agents (water gels) manufd by DuPont. They consist of an AN slurry, sensitized with monomethylamine nitrate (MMAN), and with a thickener and cross-linking chemical to promote water resistance. Tovex provides increased safety (thru low hazard and initiation sensitivity), high water resistance, good fume characteristics, and a low propensity for sympathetic detonation... [Pg.823]
