Claims24
A lead-free and barium-free ignition charge, comprising a boron component, one or more initial explosive substances, one or more sensitisers, an auxiliary substance, one or more friction agents, and a binder, and
- the ignition charge being free from oxidising agents,
- wherein the boron component is at least one selected from the group consisting of boron and boron nitride, and the proportion of the boron component in the ignition charge is 0.01 to 5 wt. %,
- wherein the one or more initial explosive substances is at least one selected from the group consisting of diazodinitrophenol, potassium dinitrobenzofuroxanate, and 1-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)-5-(1-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-1H-tetrazole, and the proportion of the one or more initial explosive substances in the final ignition charge is 30 to 70 wt. %,
- wherein the one or more sensitisers is at least one selected from the group consisting of tetrazene and diazodinitrophenol, and the proportion of the one or more sensitisers in the final ignition charge is 1 to 12 wt. %,
- wherein the auxiliary substance includes nitrocellulose ball powder, and the proportion of the auxiliary substance in the final ignition charge is 2 to 45 wt. %,
- wherein the one or more friction agents is at least one selected from the group consisting of glass beads and glass powder, and the proportion of the friction agent in the final ignition charge is 10 to 40 wt. %, and
- wherein the binder includes adhesin, and the proportion of the binder in the final ignition charge is 0.2% to 5%.
