- This article will deal with the production of type 'C' plastic explosive
- compound. If you have not read my other two articles, you will need to so you
- can get some safety precations and the recipe for making R.D.X.
-
- All of the type 'C' plastic explosives (that includes C-2, C-3, and C-4)
- are exceedingly powerful and should be used with utmost care. (See K.I.P.E.
- Part II for detonation chart).
-
- This explosive is just a copy of a British explosive that was adopted
- early in WWII. This explosive is the choice explosive of the type 'C' compounds
- becuase of its relative ease of maufacture and the easy aquisition of the
- plastizer compound. This explosive was available in standard demolition
- blocks.
-
- This explosive was standardized and adopted in the following composition:
-
- R.D.X.......................... 88.3%
- Heavy mineral oil.............. 11.1%
- Lecithin....................... .6%
-
- (All percentages are by weight)
-
-
- In this composition, the lecithin acts to prevent the formation of large
- crystals of R.D.X. which would increase the sensitivity of the explosive. This
- explosive has a good deal of power and is relatively non-toxic, (except when
- ingested).
-
- It is also plastic from 0-40 degrees celcius. Above 40 degrees the
- explosive undergoes extrudation and becomes gummy although its explosive
- properties go realatively unimpaired. Below 0 degrees celcius it becomes
- brittle and its cap sensitivity is lessened considerably.
-
- Manufacturing this explosive can be done two ways. First being to
- dissolve the 11.7% plastisizing in unleaded gasoline and mixing with the R.D.X.
- and allowing the gasoline to evaporate until the mixture is free of all
- gasoline.
-
- The second method being the simple kneading of the plastisizing compound
- into the R.D.X. until a uniform mixture is obtained.
-
- This explosive should be stored in a cool-dry place. If properly made the
- plastique should be very stable in storage even if stored at elevated
- temparatures for long periods of time. It should be very cap sensitive. A
- booster will be a good choice, especially if used below 0 degrees celcius. This
- detonates at a velocity of 7900 M/second.
