Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0159171A1] A cast explosive composition is described having a high density, energy and critical diameter and comprising inorganic oxidizer salt, a water-immiscible organic liquid fuel, less than about 5% water, and an emulsifier which allows formation of a water-in-oil emulsion at an elevated formulation temperature but which also allows the emulsion to weaken and the inorganic oxidizer salt to crystallize at lower or ambient temperatures to produce a cast composition. A preferred emulsifier is an alkylammonium salt having a chain length of from 14 to 18 carbon atoms.
