Oxalate carbonite

Kolax. A Ger expl of the Carbonite type contg NG 25, K nitrate 26, Ba nitrate 5, woodmeal 34 starch 10%. Super-Kolax was a modification of the above used in England NG 28.5, Collodion Cotton 1.0, K nitrate 16.5, Ba nitrate 5.0, Amm oxalate 9.5, woodmeal 30.5 starch 9.0%. Both are no longer on the permitted list Refs 1) Marshall 1 (1917), 375 2) Marshall,... 

The principal components of Carbonites are NG(gelarinized or not with collod cotton), K or Na nitrate and spent tan bark or woodmeal. Some Carbonites contain Ba nitrate, K bichromate, Amm oxalate, gelatinized silicic acid and soda ash or Mg carbonate... 

Clydite. A coal-mine expl formerly made by Nobels at Ardeer. It was similar to Nobel Carbonite (NG 26, K nitrate 29, Ba nitrate 4, woodmeal 40.5, "sulfurated benzene 0.25 and Na Ca carbonates 0.25%), except that K nitrate was replaced by Ba salt, and it could contain up to 8% Amm oxalate... 

Super Kolax. Brit expls of the Carbonite type (see Vol 2, C61-R) which contained amm oxalate as a cooling agent in order to pass the Buxton test. A typical formulation consisted of NG 25.5, K nitrate 25.5, Ba nitrate 5X), woodmeal 30 D, starch 7X1 and amm oxalate 7-0%...
