A insensitive explosive comprises: This quaternary eutectic is used in combination with a sensitive explosive. A low melting temperature facilitates melt casting to fill 155 mm artillery shells.

Melt cast insensitive eutectic explosive

The sensitivity to shock initiation of cast 1,3,3-trinitroazetidine (TNAZ) is reduced when an effective amount of at least one nitro-substituted aromatic amine is added to a melt comprising TNAZ.

Castable TNAZ/nitroaromaticamine composite explosive

A melt/cast explosive composition comprising about 20 to 100 wt. % of a binary complex of ammonium nitrate (AN) and methyl nitroguanidine (MeNQ) in a molar ratio of about 0.55:1 to 1.35:1. This binary complex may be used alone or it may be formulated with up to about 80 wt. % compatible fuels and/or oxidizers to tailor the formulation for specific military or commercial applications.

Intermolecular complex explosives

Explosive compositions based on TNT (trinotrotoluene) having incorporated therein as desensitizer an ozokerite wax.

Desensitized explosive composition

A general purpose aerial bomb and a thermoplastic liner therefor consisting essentially of a melt blend of polypropylene and polybutene.
