C06B EXPLOSIVES OR THERMIC COMPOSITIONS (blasting F42D); MANUFACTURE THEREOF; USE OF SINGLE SUBSTANCES AS EXPLOSIVES (compounds in general C01, C07 or C08; )
Introduced: September 1968
Description
C06B covers the composition, formulation, and manufacturing processes of explosive and thermic materials, including pyrotechnic mixtures and blasting compounds. The subclass includes both multi-component explosive compositions (such as dynamite, RDX-based explosives, and nitrate-fuel mixtures) and the use of chemically pure single substances as explosives. Manufacturing methods for preparing, mixing, and stabilizing these compositions are also within scope, along with additives and binders that enhance performance or safety.
