Smoke shell

A process for the production of a cast explosive charge which is fixedly adherent to a charge carrier, such as projectile casings, housings for explosives, warheads, mines, and the like, wherein a liquid explosive is applied onto the preheated charge carrier which is provided with a coating applied as a suspension, and the charge carrier is thereafter cooled down through regulating of the temperature. The suspension is applied on the charge carrier which has been brought to approximately room temperature, to a coating thickness of between about 10 .mu.m and 100 .mu.m, the suspension being essentially constituted of 14 to 46% by weight of a binding resin which is non-hardening in oxygen and having a softing point below the melting point of the explosive; 6 to 26% by weight of a pigment composition; and 24 to 66% by weight of a polymeric solvent composition.
