Detonating Cords Loaded with Hexanitrostilbene (HNS) Recrystallized from Acid or Organic Solvents.

Abstract

Hexanitrostilbene (HNS) has been tested in silver and aluminum detonating cords. These cords were loaded with the explosive precipitated both from 'organic solvents' and 'acid solvents' at two different density ranges (detonation velocities). Thermal stability is reflected as changes in detonation velocity as a function of temperature and time of exposure. A brief resume of how the particle geometry of HNS varies with the producer is also presented.
