    The sensitivity to friction of improvised primary explosives and method of their desensitization

  • Original language description

    The influence of water and WD-40 oil content in five commonly misused primary explosives - mercury fulminate (MF), the double salt of silver acetylide and silver nitrate (SAcN), simple silver acetylide (SAc), triacetone triperoxide (TATP) and hexamethylene triperoxide diamine (HMTD) was investigated. Due to the popularity of these explosives among both young chemists and terrorists they are often the subject of findings by EODs (and subsequenly handled by EODs or forensic analysts). Therefore a feasiblemethod for simple desensitization in the field was studied. Sensitivity curves were obtained for solid primary explosives and for their mixtures with a 10% content of liquid and then with excess liquid. A small amount of either liquid in a primary explosive (10%) significantly decreases the sensitivity of the explosives to friction. The sensitivity to friction of completely saturated explosives decreases even further. Therefore in practice, it should be better to completely saturate the
