Four batches of experimental PETN have been made for incorporation into LX-13 (Extex). A control batch was reprecipitated in the conventional manner (shock reprecipitation from acetone into violently agitated water) while three batches were made in the Micronizer: Two of these were treated with MRL 22A.with one of the treated batches being heat stabilized for 8 hours at 116 C. Two 500-pound batches of RX-04-EC (4% Viton A) were made to supply material for the special studies of the effects of deviations in the composition of LX-10 type explosive. An attempt was made to mold a skid test part from ECX. Inadequate curing of the binder made mold stripping difficult.
