Abstract
Thermal stability of nine primary explosives has been determined at 89 °C. Half-lives ( t 1 2 for thermal decomposition are correlated against temperature of ignition ( T I) and the peak maxima ( T max) in the DSC traces. A trend to increased thermal stability with increased T I and T max is observed, with T max giving the better correlation. Thermal decomposition of three of the materials is accompanied by a decrease in T max by up to 10 °C at 50% decomposition. This could be an indication of autocatalytic decomposition.
