Abstract
Abstract A sheet explosive employing a fine particle size filler in which a portion thereof is replaced by a plasticizer diluent providing castability at moderate temperatures while maintaining high rates of detonation. The material is crosslinked under mild conditions to eliminate thermoplasticity.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
59 words
A castable, thermally stable, non-thermoplastic flexible explosive comprising an explosive filler consisting of a mixture of methylamine perchlorate and cyclotrimethylene trinitramine and a binder, said binder consisting of a mixture of a readily curable prepolymer from the group consisting of a polyurethane, a copolymer of dinitroropyl acrylate and a copolymer of hydroxyalkylacrylates, a crosslinking agent and a curing agent.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
59 words
A castable, thermally stable, non-thermoplastic flexible explosive comprising an explosive filler consisting of a mixture of methylamine perchlorate and cyclotrimethylene trinitramine and a binder, said binder consisting of a mixture of a readily curable prepolymer from the group consisting of a polyurethane, a copolymer of dinitroropyl acrylate and a copolymer of hydroxyalkylacrylates, a crosslinking agent and a curing agent.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
The composition recited in claim 1 wherein said binder includes an energetic plasticizer diluent of a mixture of bis(2,2-dinitropropyl)formal and bis(2,2-dinitropropyl)acetal.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
The composition recited in claim 1 wherein said mixture is from about 55% to about 75% by weight of said composition.
