EXPLOSIVE PROPERTIES AND HANDLING CHARACTERISTICS OF HNS-I

Abstract

The terminating explosive components used with heat resistant mild detonating fuse (MDF) should contain explosives of comparable heat resistant properties. One explosive for this use is hexanitrostilbene (HNS-I). It is sufficiently insensitive to heat, impact, and electrostatic spark to be used in MDF end couplers and end boosters. It has acceptable detonation velocity and sensitivity for these uses.
