ABSTRACT:
An improved process of making a highly impact insensitive form of HMX cal Alpha HMX has been accomplished. Test results of insensitive impact from drop heights of 5 to 10 times greater than Beta HMX, the conventional explosive, has been successfully achieved. This accomplishment has been achieved without the addition of any additives, and is attributed to the attainment of small particle size, whole crystals, narrow size distribution, and sample purity.
