  • Ammonium nitrate fuel oil mixtures
    Patent number: 9315429
    Abstract: The present invention relates to ammonium nitrate fuel oil mixtures, and includes compositions comprising (a) ammonium nitrate, (b) a fuel component, (c) a functionalized polymer component, and (d) an oil-soluble anionic surfactant, wherein the mixture of components (b), (c) and (d) form a gel that will not readily flow. The compositions of the present invention provide improve fuel retention and/or water resistance properties, particularly when the compositions use low quality porous prills of ammonium nitrate.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 27, 2011
    Date of Patent: April 19, 2016
    Assignee: The Lubrizol Corporation
    Inventors: Andrei B. Fedorov, Barry Love
  • SALT COMPOSITIONS AND EXPLOSIVES USING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20130139716
    Abstract: This invention relates to novel salt compositions and to explosive compositions comprising said salt compositions. The salt compositions are useful as emulsifiers in the explosive compositions. The explosive compositions are water-in-oil emulsion explosives.

  • Explosive compositions
    Patent number: 5859264
    Abstract: Gamma and delta lactones of formulae (I and 11) are used as emulsifiers in explosive compositions comprising a continuous organic phase and a discontinuous aqueous phase containing an oxygen-supplying compound. In the formulae, R is hydrocarbyl, R* is hydrogen, methyl or another hydrocarbyl, and Q is an amide, ammonium salt or ester functionality.
