Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0340980A2] An explosive composition which is in an at least semi-fluid form, such as an emulsion or a gel, and which includes a polymerizable fuel component which, on polymerization, serves to increase the viscosity of the composition and to improve its stability in so far as the retention of any gas bubbles which are present in it as sensitising agent is concerned. The polymerization is carried out in such a manner that at least a skin of polymeric material is formed around the product which obviates the need for any further packing of the product prior to its commercial use.
