A water-in-oil type emulsion explosive envelope comprises a water-in-oil type emulsion explosive and a paper wrapping the explosive. In this envelope, the paper is coated with a low-temperature melt resin and wrapped double so as to adhere joint faces to each other through heat.

Water-in-oil type emulsion explosive envelope

An explosive composition containing micro-voids consisting of thermoplastic resin hollow microspheres coated with a thermosetting resin has a remarkably excellent low temperature detonability in a small diameter cartridge after lapse of a long period of time.

Explosive composition

A water-in-oil emulsion explosive composition containing specifically limited hollow microspheres consisting of neutral or weakly acidic hollow microspheres coated with a coating material has a high consistency without deteriorating its storage stability in initiation sensitivity in a small diameter cartridge, and can be safely and easily handled.

Water-in-oil emulsion explosive composition

A water-in-oil emulsion explosive composition containing an emulsifier consisting of a mixture of sorbide, sorbitan and sorbitol fatty acid esters in a specifically limited mixing ratio, has an improved storage stability in initiation sensitivity in small diameter cartridges and at low temperatures and further has an improved resistance against dead pressing.

A water-in-oil emulsion explosive composition comprising an aqueous solution of ammonium nitrate alone or in admixture with the other inorganic oxidizer salt, fuel oil and/or wax, an emulsifier of dipentaerythritol fatty acid ester, polyoxyalkylenedipentaerythritol fatty acid ester, sugar fatty acid ester, polyoxyalkylenesugar fatty acid ester or sorbitol fatty acid ester, and hollow microspheres or microbubbles, has excellent storage stability in the detonation sensitivity in a small diameter cartridge and at low temperature.

A water-in-oil emulsion explosive composition having a remarkably improved storage stability in its initiation sensitivity in small diameter cartridges and at low temperatures is disclosed. The explosive composition comprises a disperse phase formed of an aqueous oxidizer solution consisting of (a) ammonium nitrate or a mixture of ammonium nitrate and another oxidizer salt, (b) water and (c) a specifically limited weak acid salt or condensed phosphate; a continuous phase consisting of (d) fuel oil and/or wax; (e) an emulsifier; and (f) hollow microspheres or microbubbles.

Water-in-oil emulsion explosive compositions containing (e) nitromethane gelatinized product obtained by mixing nitromethane with a gelatinizer for nitromethane and (f) hollow microspheres and/or (g) bubbles formed from a chemical foaming agent in a water-in-oil emulsion composition consisting of (a) ammonium nitrate or ammonium nitrate and the other inorganic oxidizer salts, (b) water, (c) an oil and/or wax and (d) a sorbitan fatty acid ester surfactant.

A water-in-oil emulsion explosive composition consisting of ammonium nitrate or a mixture of ammonium nitrate and the other inorganic oxidizer salts, water, oil and/or wax, at least one emulsifier of the group consisting of potassium octadecylsulfonate and sodium N-methyl-N-alkyl(beef tallow)-taurate and at least one of hollow microspheres and bubbles generated from a chemical foaming agent is excellent in the emulsion stability in storage, detonability at low temperature, explosion reactivity and sympathetic detonability.

A water-in-oil emulsion explosive composition consisting of ammonium nitrate or a mixture of ammonium nitrate and the other inorganic oxidizer salts, water, oil and/or wax, 1-hydroxyethyl-2-imidazoline derivative as an emulsifier and at least one of hollow microsphere and bubbles generated from a chemical foaming agent is excellent in the emulsion stability in storage, low temperature detonability and explosion reactivity.

Water-in-oil emulsion explosive composition with imidazoline derivative

A water-gel explosive comprising ammonium nitrate alone or in admixture with other inorganic oxidized acid salt, water, nitroparaffin having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, a gelatinizing agent for water, a gelatinizing agent for nitroparaffin, glass hollow microspheres and an amide has a high initiation sensitivity even at low temperature.
