or turpentine oil 2 parts, benzene 4 parts, suet 9 parts.
The fat can be partially replaced by resin whereby the cost of manufacturing is reduced.
Explosive bodies with a combustible matter of this composition can be obtained for example as follows: 50 parts of suet are melted and mixed with 50 parts of a solution of equal parts of gglophon and petroy 5mg leum. The mass becomes so 1 zenes for combustible matters of explosive bodies containing chlorates or perchlorates as oxidizing matters, is advantageous owing to the rapid oxidation of these hydrocarbons which gives a great explosive power to the explosive matters of this class. But the volatile hydrocarbons can not be used without any addition, the stability of an explosive matter consisting only of hydrocarbons and chlorates or perchlorates being reduced by the volatility of these hydrocarbons.
The present invention relates to a new and improved explosive in which the volatile hydrocarbons are used as combustible matters without offering the aforesaid disadvantages. This inconvenience is avoided by mixing the volatile hydrocarbons with a fatty body with which they form a plastic mass which binds the hydrocarbons and avoids their evaporation. Such plastic mass can for example be composed by the following bodies: benzene 1 part, suet 2 parts, or turpentine oil 2 parts, suet 3 parts, or petroleum oil 1 part, suet 2 parts. These mixtures are liquid at about 50 C. and are mixed at this temperature with powdered chlorate of potassium in a proportion of 8 to 12 parts combustible matter and parts of chlorate of potassium. This mixture becomes solid at the ordinary temperature and is moldable whereby the explosive matter enters the blast-hole and spreads there very well and is very stable.
In the same manner it is possible to make explosives having the same properties by mixing 100 parts of perchlorate o potassium or ammonium with 10 to 14 parts of a combustible matter which consists of the following plastic masses: benzene 2 parts, suet 5 parts, or turpentine oil 5 parts suet 7 parts,

but remains soft and plastic. The combustible matter prepared in this manner is kneaded with the chlorate or the perchlorate until it forms a totally homogeneous mass. About 8 to 10 of the combustible matter is used with chlorate of potassium or sodium and about 10 to 14 of the combustible matter is employed with perchlorate of potassium,
sodium or ammonium. The combustible matters suitable for such an application can be for instance composed as follows: turpentine oil 1 part, suet 2 parts, resin 1 part,
or benzene 1 part, suet 2 parts, resin 1 part.
The explosives obtained by the present proceedings are plastic at the ordinary temperature and can be kept a very long time without altering. In contact with a flame they do not easily catch fire and when set on 2. The herein described plastic explosive I consisting of a mixture of'suet, benzene, resin and potassium c h lo ra te 1n e proportions hereln speclfied.
In testimony whereof we affix our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
