Abstract
Finely divided, crystalline high explosive compounds and compositions are ovided with a desensitizing coating of wax by mixing the explosive particles with an aqueous dispersion of the wax containing a soluble salt of a higher fatty acid dispersing agent, e.g. sodium stearate, and adding barium chloride or the like to precipitate the dispersing agent as a water-insoluble fatty acid compound and break the dispersion, thereby coating the explosive particles with an intimate mixture of the wax and the insoluble fatty acid compound.
