Patent ·
OSTI ID:6642833
;
An explosive blasting composition of the gel or slurry type is described which retains its sensitivity to detonation after being agitated or worked, and a method of making such compositions is described. A small amount of collector is added to the composition comprised of a stable dispersion of a metallic sensitizer and/or fuel particle throughout a thickened solution or fluid phase containing at least one inorganic oxidizer salt. The collector remains in solution throughout the fluid phase of the composition. (12 claims)
