Oxidizer, ammonium nitrate

Urea nitrate has not found practical application, since it is not stable enough, although according to Kast [46] the loss of weight after 14 days at 75°C was only 0.2%. Decomposition into carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, ammonium nitrate and urea takes place even at 140°C, and at 180°C decomposition is rather violent. Nevertheless a small sample of the substance does not explode. [Pg.470]

Nitrates, chlorates, and certain oxides. Ammonium nitrate or nitrate mixed with an ammonium salt. [Pg.464]

Oxidizers ammonium nitrate, sodium nitrate, and potassium nitrate (saltpeter). [Pg.66]

Modifications of composite propellants are mainly concerned with modification of the oxidizer. Ammonium nitrate (Vol. IH. p. 383) is now less in use... [Pg.320]

Explosive nitro compounds and oxidizers ammonium nitrate combined with fuel oil... [Pg.120]

A strong oxidizer, ammonium nitrate is stable at room temperature. At 250°C, it begins to decompose as follows ... [Pg.849]

COPPER (7440-50-8) Cu The powder forms the friction-, heat-, or shock-sensitive explosive detonator, copper acetylide, with acetylene gas acetylenic compounds and ethylene oxides. The powder forms explosive materials with azides (e.g., sodium azide forms potentially explosive copper azide). Finely divided material forms friction-, heat-, or shock-sensitive explosive with powdered divided bromates, chlorates, and iodates of barimn, calcimn, magnesium, potassium, sodium, or zinc. Violent reaction, possibly explosive, when finely dispersed powder comes in contact with strong oxidizers ammonium nitrate alkynes, bromine vapor, calcium carbide, chlorine, ethylene oxide, hydrazine mononitrate, hydrogen peroxide, hydrogen sulfide, finely divided bromates, iodine, lead azide, potassium peroxide, sodium peroxide (incandescence), sulfuric acid. Incompatible with acids, anhydrous ammonia chemically active metals such as potassium, sodium, magnesium, and zinc, zirconium, strong bases. [Pg.278]

ACETIC ACID, AMMONIUM SALT (631-61-8) Violent reaction with strong oxidizers, ammonium nitrate, chlorine trifluoride, magnesium, potassium nitrite, sodium chlorate, sodium hypochlorite. Incompatible with nitrates. Forms a heat-sensitive explosive with 5-azidotetrazole. Reacts with gold chloride, forming fulminating gold, a heat-, friction-, and impact-sensitive explosive. Incompatible with sodium dichloroisocyanurate. [Pg.8]

BENZENE FLUORIDE (462-06-6) Forms explosive mixture with air (flash point 5°F/—15°C). Violent reaction with strong oxidizers, ammonium nitrate, chromic acid, halogens, hydrogen peroxide, nitric acid. Attacks some plastics, rubber, and coatings. [Pg.161]

CADMIO (Spanish) (7440-43-9) Air exposure, especially of powdered form, may cause chemical to self-ignite. Finely divided material reacts violently with strong oxidizers, ammonium nitrate, bromine jjentafluoride, lithium, nitryl fluoride, phosphorus trichloride, potassium chlorate, carbon dioxide + heat, hydrozoic acid, nitric oxide, tellurium. Contact with acid forms explosive hydrogen gas. Contact with hexafluorobenzene forms a heat-sensitive explosive compound. May react with selenium, elemental sulfur, zinc. [Pg.238]

ESTEARATO de ZINC (Spanish) (557-05-1) Combustible solid (flash point 530°F/ 277°C). Dust and powder form explosive mixture with air. Violent reaction with strong oxidizers, ammonium nitrate. Incompatible with nitrates. Flow or agitation of substance may generate electrostatic charges due to low conductivity. [Pg.503]
