the next.
6. DETONATING CORD is a round, flexible cord generally containing a center core of RDX
or PETN
7. SHAPE CHARGES are explosive devices that focus the explosive in a specific direction,
usually by forming an activity in the charge, to create a directed pressure.
8. LEAD AZIDE is an excellent initiating agent for high explosives and is used extensively as
the intermediate charge in the manufacture of blasting caps.
9. BLACK POWDER is a Saltpeter (potassium nitrate) or sodium nitrate 75 parts by weight;
Sulphur, 10 parts by weight; and charcoal, 15 parts by weight.
10. DYNAMITE is the explosive most widely used for blasting operations throughout the
