ABSTRACT:
The invention deals with a method for temporarily eliminating those risks associated with transporting, storing and generally handling particle formed solid explosive substances. According to the invention this is achieved (desensitizing the explosive substance) by mixing the said explosive substance with a non-explosive substance which relative to the explosive substance is an inert particle formed solid material (desensitizing substance) having by and large the same particle size as that of the explosive substance. Salts, and in particular calcium chloride, containing chloride ions have been shown to be excellent as desensitizing substances. A mixture of trinitrobenzene (TNB) and calcium chloride (CaCl.sub.2) where the content of CaCl.sub.2 is greater than or equivalent to 55% by weight should not be classified as an explosive substance.
