ABSTRACT:
A method for the manufacture of primers/detonators with 90-99.99% reliability and achieving sensitivity of 0.8 inch-oz to 3.0 inch-oz, able to withstand temperatures within the range of -40.degree. C. to 200.degree. C. and able to withstand temperature cycling and humidity for 95% RH at 95.degree. C. to -40.degree. C. Mechanical and chemical sensitizers are utilized in lieu of tetracene, the utilization of oxidizers as sensitizers, the utilization of high energy fuels, and a method of co-precipitating the primary explosive and mechanical sensitizer.
