Explosives is a concise handbook covering the entire field of explosives. It was preceded by the booklet Explosivstoffe published in 1932 by WASAG, Berlin, and by the handbook of industrial and military explosives published by WASAG-CHEMIE in 1961 under the same name.
The book contains about 500 entries arranged in alphabetical order. These include formulas and descriptions of about 120 explosive chemicals, about 60 additives, fuels, and oxidizing agents, and a 1500-entry subject index. The objective of the book is to provide fundamental information on the subject of explosives not only to experts but also to the general public. The book will therefore, apart from industrial companies and research facilities conceed, be found useful in documentary centers, translation bureaus, editorial offices, patent and lawyer offices, and other institutions of this nature. The properties, manufacturing methods, and applications of each substance are briefly described. In the case of key explosives and raw materials, the standard purity specifications are also listed.
The sixth English edition of Explosives which is now available can look back over a history of 30 years since it was first published. As an addition to the previous edition of Explosives, this book includes even more information on new explosive formulations.
