  Explosive material - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
A chemical explosive is a compound or mixture which, upon the application of heat or shock, decomposes or rearranges with extreme rapidity, yielding much gas and heat.
Explosives are classified as low or high explosives according to their rates of decomposition.
All of the standard military explosives may be considered to be of a high order of stability at temperatures of -10 to +35 °C, but each has a high temperature at which the rate of decomposition becomes rapidly accelerated and stability is reduced.

 ANFO - the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
ANFO under most conditions is considered a high explosive: it decomposes through detonation rather than deflagration and with a high velocity of detonation.
It is a secondary explosive consisting of distinct fuel and oxidizer phases and requiring confinement for efficient detonation.
It is notable that AN prills used for explosive applications are physically different from fertilizer prills; the former contain approximately 20% air.

Sprengel explosives are a highly generic class of explosives invented by Hermann Sprengel in the 1870s.
Either the oxidiser or the fuel, or both, should be a liquid to facilitate mixing, and intimate contact between the materials for a fast reaction rate.
The charge of over a hundred tonnes of explosive (laid in tunnels 20 metres below sea level) destroyed approximately 600,000 tonnes of rock, and created a wave 30 m high.

In England in 1871, Hermann Sprengel patented combinations of oxidizing agents such as chlorates, nitrates, and nitric acid with combustible substances such as nitronaphthalene, benzene, and nitrobenzene.
A mechanical explosive is one that depends on a physical reaction, such as overloading a container with compressed air.
High explosives are used as bursting charges in shells and bombs, but they cannot be used as propelling charges to drive projectiles from guns because they act too violently.
