The antimony/potassium permanganate pyrotechnic system is not gasless although it is used in sealed electric delay detonators. Burning rates of identical compositions vary according to the extent to which the system is confined. The variation is especially marked for the high fuel compositions which
## Abstract An explosion occurred recently during the operation of a grinder that had been used to process potassium chlorate and then thiourea. As part of our investigation of this accident we determined the mechanical sensitiveness of mixtures containing these components and showed that they can
The Sb/KMnO4 pyrotechnic system has been used as a starting point for introducing modifications, other than those of composition or fuel particle size, aimed at reducing the burning rate to as low a value as possible, for use in longperiod delay detonators. Both inert and reactive additives have bee
