The properties of this compound resemble those of Tetryl; it can be
prepared from mono- or diethylaniline.
Since the melting point of ethyltetryl is lower than that of Tetryl, the
former can be more readily employed in energy-rich pourable mixtures.
EURODYN 2000 ®
EURODYN 2000 ® is the trade name of a gelatinous rock explosive
made by Eurodyn Sprengmittel GmbH. In contrast to the classical
W Ammongelites, this explosive does not contain any nitro-aromatics
harmful to health, such as W Dinitrotoluene and Trinitrotoluene.
EWALID W
EWALID W is the trade name of a new rock explosive made by the
WASAG CHEMIE Sythen GmbH Company. EWALID W is manufactured
without any nitro glycerine or nitro glycol as well as any
nitrous aromatic compounds (DNT. TNT) that are rated carcinogenic.
It’s a safehandling, water resistant explosive and well suited to be used
as booster.
Exothermal
Process characterized by the evolution of heat (opposite of endothermal).
