Abstract

A granular explosive composition resistant to the development of static electricity comprises ammonium nitrate, an oleaginous fuel, water, a wetting agent, and a thickening agent; the thickening agent may be a gel-forming polysaccharide or a derivative thereof, a waterswelling cellulose ether, sodium silicate, or silica or alumina powder colloidal in size and having an amorphous, porous structure. A particulate light metal or metalloid, e.g. aluminium, magnesium, alloys thereof, silicon, ferrosilicon, or boron, may also be present. The ammonium nitrate may be in the form of prills coated with kieselguhr, kaolinite, calcium stearate, or the sodium salt of a mixture of methyl and dimethyl naphthalene sulphonic acids; sodium nitrate may replace part of the ammonium nitrate. Suitable oleaginous fuels are diesel oil, fuel oil, lubricating oil, vegetable oil, low melting greases and waxes, and partially nitrated derivatives of benzene, toluene, xylene, and naphthalene, e.g. D.N.T. The wetting agent specified is a polyoxyethylene nonyl phenol. Examples of thickening agents are sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, other cellulose derivatives, potato starch, corn starch, guar gum, tamarind seed flour, and locust bean flour. In underground blasting the composition may be loaded pneumatically into boreholes through an eductor and hose without development of static electricity.
