Abstract:

Castable high explosive compositions of generally improved physical characteristics consist essentially of 2,4,6 trinitrotoluene TNT and about 0.05 to 10 by weight of the TNT of a thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer, which is soluble in the trinitrotoluene and is fully reacted, i.e. contains essentially no free isocyanate groups, prior to incorporation thereof in the explosive composition.
