Abstract
The invention relates to an aqueous explosive blasting composition having a continuous aqueous phase and comprising inorganic oxidizer salt of which at least a significant proportion is an undissolved, solid particulate form; a solution of oxidizer salt in water, immiscible liquid organic fuel finally and stably dispersed throughout the aqueous phase; thickener; a crystal habit modifier; and a non-ionic surfactant to retard desensitization of the composition that would otherwise occur due to the presence of the oxidizer salt particles.
