STRAIGHT DYNAMITES

Specialty Definition: STRAIGHT DYNAMITES

DomainDefinition

Mining

Dynamites composed of nitroglycerin, a combustible such as wood meal, sodium nitrate, and an antacid, such as calcium or magnesium carbonate, and are made in 15% to 60% strength, the percentage representing the proportion of nitroglycerin in the dynamites. They are powerful, quick acting, and fairly water resistant, but on detonation produce poisonous gases, esp. in the higher grades. Their relatively high cost, sensitivity to shock and friction, and high flammability, together with the dangerous fumes developed, make them less suitable for general use than morerecently developed modifications.
