Understanding of explosives (3)

(2) External factors

1.

The sensitivity of explosives is greatly affected by the quantity.

2.

The sensitivity of explosives is greatly affected by the concentration.

3.

The temperature sensitivity of different explosives is different

However, some explosives have two types of crystals: stable crystals and unstable crystals: stable crystals are less sensitive, while unstable crystals are more sensitive.

For explosives (or explosive intermediates) that absorb moisture and agglomerate, they cannot be sampled and fed by methods such as impact, beating, or crushing, and suitable solvents can be used to dissolve them

4.

The sensitivity of most explosives increases with the increase in purity

However, due to the different nature of various explosives, the impact of purity and impurity content on the sensitivity of explosions will have different manifestations.

Some are not explosives in the traditional sense, and may explode under certain conditions, such as cyanogen bromide (CNBr), cyanamide (CNNH ₂ ), lithium borohydride, etc.
