Explosifs chloratés. Comme les explosifs nitratés, les explosifs chloratés sont fabriqués par le Monopole des Poudres, puis encartouchés, stockés et vendus par des encartoucheurs (...). [Constitués d'un] mélange de chlorate (actuellement chlorate de sodium) avec un produit gras (huile de ricin, paraffine) et éventuellement un produit aromatique nitré (dinitrotoluène DNT) (...) [ils] sont [dits] pulvérulents (....) Ces explosifs ne sont pas de sécurité contre l'inflammation du grisou et des poussières dans les mines de combustible : ils sont employés pratiquement à ciel ouvert, dans les découvertes des mines, dans les carrières et dans les chantiers de travaux publics. 2, record 1, French, - explosif%20chlorat%C3%A9
