Dynamites containing ammonium nitrate as the chief explosive ingredient, also a certain percent of blasting gelatin to make them plastic enough to remain in holes directed upward. They are more resistant to water than ammonia dynamites, but less resistant than gelatin dynamites.

  • Travail aux explosifs (Exploitation minière)
CONT

Les semi-gélatines-dynamites combinent l'économie réalisée par l'emploi des dynamites ammoniacales avec une certaine résistance à l'eau et avec la cohérence qu'offrent les dynamites gélatineuses. Ces explosifs constituent un substitut économique des dynamites gélatineuses plus coûteuses dans les endroits où les conditions d'emmagasinage, d'emploi et du séjour de chargement ne sont pas trop difficiles.
