This article will cover the production of plastic explosives of the type
|
||
'C-2' and 'C-3'. These are highly undesirable because of certain trait each
|
||
has and they don't produce as much power as 'C' and 'C-4' compounds.
|
||
|
||
It is not recamended you make these two types of plastique, this article was
|
||
written for imformatative purposes only. (Just so you can act like you know
|
||
what you are doing).
|
||
|
||
Composition 'C-2' is harder to make than 'C-4' and is TOXIC TO HANDLE. It
|
||
is also unstable in storage and is poor choice for home explosive manufature.
|
||
It also has a lower detonation velocity than either 'C-4' or 'C-3'.
|
||
|
||
It is manufactured in a steam jacketed (heated) melting kettle using the
|
||
same procedure used in incorperation of 'C-3'. Its composition is as follows:
|
||
|
||
R.D.X................. 80%
|
||
(Equal parts of them following:)
|
||
Mononitrotolulene
|
||
Dinitrotolulene
|
||
T.N.T. guncotton
|
||
Dimethylformide......... 20%
|
||
|
||
(See Below for rest of recipe)
|
||
|
||
'C-3' was developed to eliminate the undesirable aspects of 'C-2'. It was
|
||
standardized and adopted by the military as following composition:
|
||
|
||
R.D.X................ 77%
|
||
Mononitrotolulene.... 16%
|
||
Dinitrotolulene...... 5%
|
||
Tetryl............... 1%
|
||
T.N.T. guncotton..... 1%
|
||
|
||
'C-3' is manufactured by mixing the plastisizing agent in a steam jacketed
|
||
melting kettle equipped with a mechanical stirring attachment. The kettle is
|
||
heated to 90-100 degrees Celcius and the stirrer is activated. Water wet
|
||
R.D.X. is added to the plastisizing agent and the stirring is continued until
|
||
a uniform mixture is obtained and all water has been driven off. Remove the
|
||
heat source but continue to stir the mixture until it has cooled to room
|
||
temperature.
|
||
|
||
This explosive is as sensitive to impact as is T.N.T. Storage at 65 degrees
|
||
Celcius for four months at a relative humidity of 95% does not impair it's
|
||
explosive properties.
|
||
|
||
'C-3' is 133% as good as an explosive as good as an explsive as is T.N.T.
|
||
The major drawback of 'C-3' is its volatility which causes it to lose 1.2% of
|
||
its weight although the explosives detonation properties are not affected.
|
||
|
||
Water does not affect explosives preformance. It therefore is very good for
|
||
under-water demolition uses and would be a good choice for such an aplication.
|
||
|
||
When stored at 77 degrees Celcius considerable extrudation takes place. It
|
||
will become hard at -29 degrees Celcius and is hard to detonate at this
|
||
tempurature.
|
||
|
||
While this explosive is not unduely toxic, it should be handled with care as
|
||
it contains aryl-nitro compounds which are absorbed through the skin.
|
||
|
||
It will reliably take detonation from a #6 blasting cap but the use of a
|
||
booster is always suggested. This explosive has a great blast effect and was
|
||
still is avaliable in standard demolition blocks. Its detonation velocity is
|
||
approximately 7700 M/second.
