Explosives plastic bonded

Various types of crystalline materials and polymers are used to formulate PBX, as summarized in Table 4.16. Though the polymers used are not the same as those used for propellants, the fundamental concepts for the selection of materials for PBX are the same. [Pg.110]

Both RDX and HMX are substantially desensitized by mixing with TNT to form cyclotols (RDX) and octols (HMX) or by coating with waxes, synthetic polymers, and elastomeric biaders. Most of the RDX made ia the United States is converted to Composition B (60% RDX, 40% TNT, 1 part wax added). Composition A5 (RDX 98.5/stearic acid 1.5) and composition C4 (RDX91/nonexplosive plasticizer) account for the next largest uses. HMX is used as a propellant and ia maximum-performance plastic bonded explosives such as PBX 9401 and PBX N5 and the octols (147—150). [Pg.16]

There is also an as-yet small but growing class of formulations known as PBX Plastic Bonded Explosive. PBXs are similar to rubber-base, composite rocket proplnts in that they consist of 85% or so of powdered high-energy explosive incorporated into a plastic matrix (which can be a conventional plastic or a double-base) and cast into place.

Understanding the condensed-phase properties of HE materials is important for determining stability and performance. Information regarding HE material properties [such as the physical, chemical, and mechanical behaviors of the constituents in plastic-bonded explosive (PBX) formulations] is necessary for efficiently building the next generation of explosives as the quest for more powerful energetic materials (in terms of energy per volume) moves forward.1...

Formals and acetals prepared from the reaction of polynitroaliphatic alcohols with formaldehyde and acetaldehyde have found use as explosive plastisizers for nitrocellulose and in plastic bonded explosives (PBXs). Formals of polynitroaliphatic alcohols are commonly prepared via reaction with trioxane or paraformaldehyde in the presence of sulfuric acid as a condensing agent. Bis(2,2-dinitropropyl)formal (175) is prepared from the reaction of trioxane with 2,2-dinitropropanol (25). The reaction of 2,2,2-trinitroethanol (159) and 2,2-dinitro-l,3-propanediol (19) with formaldehyde in the presence of sulfu-... [Pg.48]

Pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) (3) is a powerful explosive which exhibits considerable brisance on detonation (VOD 8310 m/s at = 1.77 g/cm ). It is the most stable and least reactive of the common nitrate ester explosives. The relatively high sensitivity of PETN to friction and impact means that it is usually desensitized with phlegmatizers like wax and the product is used in detonation cord, boosters and as a base charge in detonators. Pentaerythritol tetranitrate can be mixed with synthetic polymers to form plastic bonded explosives (PBXs) like detasheet and Semtex-IA. A cast mixture of PETN and TNT in equal proportions is known as pentolite and has seen wide use as a military explosive and in booster charges. The physical, chemical and explosive properties of PETN commend its use as a high explosive. [Pg.88]
