charge HIGH EXPLOSIVES. It ranges in color from white to buff-brown, depending
upon its purity, and has a saline or salty taste
3. Explosive Sensitivity is not greatly affected by their surroundings and depends on
the INTERNAL SHOCK PRESSURE.

that the combustion action can be transferred from one particle of the explosive
compound to the next.
6. DETONATING CORD is a round, flexible cord generally containing a center core of
RDX or PETN
7. SHAPE CHARGES are explosive devices that focus the explosive in a specific
direction, usually by forming an activity in the charge, to create a directed
pressure.
8. LEAD AZIDE is an excellent initiating agent for high explosives and is used
extensively as the intermediate charge in the manufacture of blasting caps.
9. BLACK POWDER is a Saltpeter (potassium nitrate) or sodium nitrate 75 parts by

10. DYNAMITE is the explosive most widely used for blasting operations
throughout the world.
11. Detonation of the bomb should be treated as another disaster or calamity.
