This article will deal with the production of type 'C' plastic explosive
|
|||
|
|
compound. If you have not read my other two articles, you will need to so you
|
|||
|
|
can get some safety precations and the recipe for making R.D.X. All of the
|
|||
|
|
type 'C' plastic explosives (that includes C-2, C-3, and C-4) are exceedingly
|
|||
|
|
powerful and should be used with utmost care. (See K.I.P.E. Part II for
|
|||
|
|
detonation chart).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This explosive is just a copy of a British explosive that was adopted early
|
|||
|
|
in WWII. This explosive is the choice explosive of the type 'C' compounds
|
|||
|
|
becuase of its relative ease of maufacture and the easy aquisition of the
|
|||
|
|
plastizer compound. This explosive was available in standard demolition
|
|||
|
|
blocks.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This explosive was standardized and adopted in the following composition:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
R.D.X.......................... 88.3%
|
|||
|
|
Heavy mineral oil.............. 11.1%
|
|||
|
|
Lecithin....................... .6%
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
(All percentages are by wait)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In this composition, the lecithin acts to prevent the formation of large
|
|||
|
|
crystals of R.D.X. which would increase the sensitivity of the explosive.
|
|||
|
|
This explosive has a good deal of power and is relatively non-toxic, (except
|
|||
|
|
when ingested).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
It is also plastic from 0-40 degrees celcius. Above 40 degrees the
|
|||
|
|
explosive undergoes extrudation and becomes gummy although its explosive
|
|||
|
|
properties go realatively unimpaired. Below 0 degrees celcius it becomes
|
|||
|
|
brittle and its cap sensitivity is lessened considerably.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Manufacturing this explosive can be done two ways. First being to dissolve
|
|||
|
|
the 11.7% plastisizing in unleaded gasoline and mixing with the R.D.X. and
|
|||
|
|
allowing the gasoline to evaporate until the mixture is free of all gasoline.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The second method being the simple kneading of the plastisizing compound
|
|||
|
|
into the R.D.X. until a uniform mixture is obtained.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This explosive should be stored in a cool-dry place. If properly made the
|
|||
|
|
plastique should be very stable in storage even if stored at elevated
|
|||
|
|
temparatures for long periods of time.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
It should be very cap sensitive. A booster will be a good choice,
|
|||
|
|
especially if used below 0 degrees celcius.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This detonates at a velocity of 7900 M/second.

|||
