Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
108 words
In a cast plastic bonded explosive wherein high explosive filler material is bound in a matrix of binder material, the improvement residing in utilizing a mixture of (1) 42 parts by weight of a composition made up of styrene and an unsaturated polyester resin derived from propylene glycol, maleic anhydride and phthalic anhydride wherein the ratio of maleic anhydride to phthalic anhydride is relatively low and (2) 30 parts by weight of a composition made up of styrene and an unsaturated polyester resin based upon diethylene glycol, maleic anhydride and adipic acid to which (3) 28 additional parts of styrene have been added to form a binder material.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
108 words
