Aging of civil explosives (Poster)
conference paper
For the Dutch MoD and police, TNO composed sets with different kinds of civil explosives to train their detection dogs. The manufacturer of these explosives guarantees several years of stability of these explosives. These sets of explosives are used under different conditions, like temperature and humidity. In order to expand the life time of these explosives TNO has performed TGA/DSC tests at three different heating rates to obtain the kinetic parameters [1, 2]. The explosive sets have been analysed in 2002, 2010, 2013 and 2014. Some of these explosives have also been aged artificially. With the TGA results some kinetic calculations were done [2, 3]. A comparison of the TGA results from measurements of several years and a comparison of the kinetic results are presented.
