Pure chemicals belong here. For mixtures and types of explosives, see Category:Explosives

An explosive (or explosive material) is a reactive substance that contains a great amount of potential energy that can produce an explosion if released suddenly, usually accompanied by the production of light, heat, sound, and pressure.

2025年1月16日 · Explosive, any substance or device that can be made to produce a volume of rapidly expanding gas in an extremely brief period. There are three fundamental types: mechanical, nuclear, and chemical. A mechanical explosive is one that depends on a physical reaction, such as overloading a container

2017年2月17日 · Here are five of these non-nuclear chemicals which all explode via the rapid release of gas. One of the most commonly known explosive chemicals is trinitrotoluene, or TNT, which has...

The OSHA Laboratory Standard defines an explosive as a chemical that causes a sudden, almost instantaneous release of pressure, gas, and heat when subjected to sudden shock, pressure, or high temperature. Under the Department of Transportation (DOT) hazard class system, explosives are listed as hazard class 1.

2022年3月7日 · The development of permitted and blasting explosives for commercial use is briefly covered together with the introduction of Ammonium Nitrate/Fuel Oil (ANFO), slurry and emulsion explosives. Blackpowder, also known as gunpowder, was …

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. Many substances not ordinarily classed as explosives may do one, or even two, of these things.

Explosive chemicals are chemicals that cause a sudden, almost instantaneous release of pressure, gas, and heat when subjected to shock, pressure, or high temperature. Because of the hazards associated with explosive chemicals, the campus prohibits the acquisition or purposeful production of explosive chemicals.

Potentially Explosive Chemicals (PECs) include peroxidizable organic chemicals which oxidize, dry out, or otherwise destabilize over time. Examples include isopropyl ether, sodium amide, and picric acid.

2018年8月2日 · An explosive chemical is a substance or mixture that experiences violent combustion as a reaction to an ignition source. This reaction is an exothermic process that involves the rapid release of large amounts of energy and is characterized by a rapid, violent release of pressure, gas, and heat.
