C 06 BEXPLOSIVE OR THERMIC COMPOSITIONS (blasting F42D); MANUFACTURE THEREOF; USE OF SINGLE SUBSTANCES AS EXPLOSIVES (compounds in general C01, C07 or C08) [2]


Notes

(1)This subclass covers:

 compositions which are:

 (a)explosive: compositions included are those containing both a fuel and sufficient oxidiser so that, upon initiation, they are capable of undergoing a chemical change of a relatively high rate of speed, resulting in the production of usable force for blasting, firearms, propelling missiles, or the like;  [2]

 (b)thermic: compositions included have (i) a consumable fuel component which consists of any element which is a metal, B, Si, Se or Te, or mixtures, intercompounds, or hydrides thereof; and (ii) in combination an oxidant component which is either a metal oxide or a salt (organic or inorganic) capable of yielding a metal oxide on decomposition;  [2]

 (c)fuels for rocket engines and intended for reaction with an oxidant, excluding air, in order to provide thrust for motive power purposes;  [2]

 (d)for use in affecting the explosion environment, e.g. for neutralising the poisonous gases of explosives, for cooling the explosion gases, or the like;  [2]

 methods or apparatus for preparing or treating such compositions not otherwise provided for;  [2]

 methods of using single substances as explosives.  [2]

(2)In this subclass, the following term is used with the meaning indicated:

 "nitrated" covers compounds having a nitro group or a nitrate ester group.  [2]

(3)Methods or apparatus for preparing or treating such compositions are classified according to the particular components of the compositions.  [2]
