PBXN-9

Plastic Bonded ExplosiveDescriptionPBXN-9 explosive consists of a mixture of HMX powder bound with a Diisooctyl Adipate (DOA) low boiling point plasticizer and a carbonyl-terminated polybutadiene (HYTEMP 4454) polyacrylate elastomer binder. The elasticity of the matrix lowers sensitivity of the bulk material to shock and friction. It comes in the form of white granular powder.

ApplicationPBXN-9 is used for production of pressed insensitive explosive boosters and main warhead charges in large and medium caliber ammunition. It is rigid enough to maintain a precise engineering shape even under severe stress. It can be pressed at high pressures into specific shapes, to achieve density for the material very close to the theoretical crystal density of the base explosive material.
