Polymer-bonded explosives, also called PBX or plastic-bonded explosives, are explosive materials in which explosive powder is bound together in a matrix using small quantities (typically 5–10% by weight) of a synthetic polymer.

2017年6月12日 · pbxn-109 To reduce the chance of accidental explosions and fires, the Navy, Air Force, and Army are replacing existing main charge explosives with new, more insensitive explosives such as...

In keeping with a policy for the Australian Defence Force (ADF) to consider the acquisition of Insensitive Munitions for future weapon systems the explosive chosen for the Penguin ASM warhead was PBXN-109. This polymer bonded explosive was processed and filled into the warhead by ADI Ltd at their Mulwala facihty.

2018年1月1日 · In the new formulation (named PBXN-109EB), inert HTPB (Hydroxylterminated polybutadiene) binder and inert dioctyl adiphate (DOA) plasticizer in PBXN-109 formulation have been substituted...

Shock sensitivity of many of the available types of RDX was evaluated in a standard formulation – PBXN-109, which contains Class 1 RDX and aluminum in an inert binder. The seven types of Class 1 RDX are listed in Table 1, along with their lot numbers, Microtrac measurements of mean particle size ( mean), 1 and HPLC measurements of HMX ...

The PBXN-109 was directly cast into the LSGT tubes (140 x 48.3 od X 38.1 id mm) and, as for the SSCB test, an additional batch was prepared in tubes that had been lined with the Epolene/Rextac liner. The results from the LSGT are presented in Table 13.

2003年1月1日 · PBXN-109 is the explosive fill for a number of munitions including BLU-109A/B 2000 lb penetrator bombs, Penguin anti-ship missiles, some joint standoff weapons and Tomahawk Block IV.

2022年3月5日 · The PBXN-109 explosive shall be a plastic-bonded and castable explosive material and shall contain a plastic material which is used to polymerize with the other ingredients to make it more flexible.

2016年2月26日 · This paper summarizes the experimental and modeling research relating to shock initiation and sympathetic reaction of PBXN-109. The modeling has focused on developing and applying Ignition and Growth ( I&G ) models using the hydrocode LS-DYNA, taking into consideration the reduced shock sensitivity due to changes in source of ingredients.

The polymer bonded explosive, PBXN-109, is manufactured by Australian Defence Industries Limited (ADI) for use as the explosive fill in the Penguin Anti-Ship Missile warhead in support of Project Sea 1414.
