Impact sensitivity testing was performed using a modified Bureau of Mines (MBOM) impactor manufactured by Safety Management Services, Inc. Type-12 tooling was utilized on this machine with a 2.5kg impactor and matching intermediate mass. This particular machine is capable of a maximum drop height of 115cm with 0.1cm increments, though 1cm increments are typically used. Sample material was placed (35 ± 2mg) onto 1 inch squares of Norton brand 180A Garnet sandpaper. Due to the reactive nature of the peroxide in these mixtures, contact between the sample and sandpaper was minimized (<10s) prior to impact. Positive results were detected visually or audibly by the operator as smoke, flash, report, tearing of the sandpaper, etc. The test was conducted using the Bruceton technique to calculate the height at which there is a 50% chance of initiation (H50).
