Description/Abstract | A nitrate or nitroparaffin-base liquid explosive composition has a small critical diameter which is essentially free of particulate metals such as may render such compositions unduly brisant or susceptible to decomposition.^The composition is consistent with the safety requirements of geologic fracturing, including an inert solid ballistic modifier having a sonic velocity substantially different from that of the explosive material in the composition and an average particle size of less than 10 microns, forming from about 5 to 20% by wt of the composition.^ (6 claims) |
