Composition For Forming A Hydrogen Peroxide Based Emulsion Explosive
Patent No. EP4086237 (titled "Composition For Forming A Hydrogen Peroxide Based Emulsion Explosive") was filed by Hypex BIO Explosives Technology on May 5, 2021. The application was issued on Aug 6, 2025.
Patent Summary
This composition for a hydrogen peroxide-based emulsion explosive consists of a water-in-oil dispersion where a discontinuous oxidizer-phase is dispersed throughout a continuous fuel-phase. The oxidizer-phase comprises at least 15% by weight of hydrogen peroxide and at least 15% by weight of water. The fuel-phase comprises at least one oil-type fuel. The composition further includes an emulsifier and at least one finely divided solid adsorbent dispersed within the fuel-phase. Designed as a nitrate-free, environmentally friendly alternative to ammonium nitrate-based explosives, the inclusion of the solid adsorbent in combination with the emulsifier enhances stability and prevents coalescence, particularly during sensitization. The resulting emulsion is suitable for cold-process manufacturing and provides improved resistance to destabilization from sensitizers or impurities.
