Description
Patented @ct. 20, 1931 cares stares PATENT orrios WILLIAM LINDSAY MGIPHEBSON, OF THE UNITED STATES ARMY, DOVER, NEW JERSEY ExrLosIvn comosITIon No Drawing.
Application filed April 16, 1929. Serial No. 355,652.
(GRANTED UNDER THE ACT OF MARCH 3, 1888, AS AMENDED APRIL 30, 1928 370 0. G. 757)- The invention described hereinmay be manufactured and used by or for the Government for governmental purposes, without the payment to me of any royaltythereon.
The subject matter of this invention 1s an explosive composition.
The choice of ingredients for explosive compositions depends upon their favorable behavior, the availability of supply and the cost of production. At the present time the development of certain domestic industries has produced as a by-product a large supply of furfural from which can be produced derivatives of furane. While this supply of i'urfural provides a ready source from which intro derivatives of furane may be secured, itis not a sole source 'of such supply and this invention is intended to cover such derivati ves from whatever sources obtained.
I have discovered that the nitro derivatives of furane are explosive, acting similar to their analogues in the benzene series. Dinitro-furane, for example, explodes on impact of a 2-kilogram weight. This property is also characteristic of the substance when combined with other ingredients. The following are examples of such explosive mixtures.
1. N itro compounds of furane mixed with inorganic salts, such as the nitrates and chlorates of ammonium, potassium and sodium.
2. N itro compounds of furane mixed with alkyl and aromatic compounds, such as nitroglycerine, glycol dinitrate, diethylene glycol dinitrate, nitro-cellulose, nitro starch, the nitro sugars, the nitro benzenes, thylenes, the nitro furanes, the nitro phenols, the nitro cresols, etc.
3. Nitro compounds of furane mixed with nitro-cellulose, either with'or without other ingredients. In this case the former compounds act as plasticizers in addition to increasing the potential of the mixture.
