ABSTRACT:
A blasting explosive having improved water resistance comprises a particulate blend of from about 5 to about 27 wt. % of a slurry explosive and from about 73 to about 95 wt. % of a mixture of ammonium nitrate particles and a liquid hydrocarbon fuel based on the weight of the slurry, the ammonium nitrate particles and the fuel. The mixture of ammonium nitrate particles and a liquid hydrocarbon fuel contain from about 3.0 to about 6.0 wt. % hydrocarbon fuel based on the weight of the ammonium nitrate/fuel mixture. The blend is first coated with a gelling agent and subsequently coated with an anticaking agent.
