Patent

CA 2123170

According to this invention, there is provided a nitromethane liquid explosive composition having a freezing point of <-40°C which is rendered insensitive to detonation relative to neat nitromethane for the purpose of safe storage, handling, and tranportation to the site where it is to be used, and then resensitized at the time of use by adding 4 to 10 weight % triethylamine based on the total weight of the resensitized mixture. There is also provided a process for preparing said nitromethane liquid explosive composition. The nitromethane liquid explosive composition is rendered insensitive by the addition of nitroethane or 1-nitropropane. Prefered compositions for the resensitized mixtures include 70 wt% nitromethane and 30 wt% nitroethane with 4 wt% triethylamine, and 50 wt% nitromethane and 50 wt% 1-nitropropane with 10 wt% triethylamine.
