Plastic and semiplastic explosives. Many of the explosives used for commercial purposes belong to this group. The consistency is such that the explosive can be shaped by moderate pressure to fill the drill hole. The difference between plastic and semiplastic form is primarily dependent on the difference in equipment which has been found necessary in manufacturing cartridges of the explosive. The viscose of the plastic type makes it possible to produce cartridges by a process of extrusion through tubes. 4, record 1, English, - plastic%20explosive

Composition explosive à laquelle ses constituants confèrent une propriété de plasticité qui permet de la mettre en forme manuellement et de l'utiliser, en particulier, pour des destructions. Il est principalement constitué d'un explosif secondaire (par exemple : pentrite ou hexogène) et d'un liant (par exemple, gomme et huile ou élastomère plastifié). 5, record 1, French, - dynamite%20plastique

La nitroglycérine [...] est un explosif très puissant mais aussi très sensible et pour pouvoir l'utiliser industriellement, il est nécessaire de la mélanger à des corps absorbants, afin de diminuer sa sensibilité. Ces corps sont de plusieurs types, ce qui permet de séparer l'ensemble des dynamites en plusieurs classes [...] a) dynamite à absorbant inerte [...] b) dynamite à absorbant actif [...] Dans la seconde catégorie se rangent toutes les dynamites fabriquées en France et parmi lesquelles on peut distinguer suivant leur aspect physique : - les dynamites gommes qui contiennent plus de 60 % de nitroglycérine; [...] - les dynamites plastiques qui en contiennent de 20 à 40 % et qui contiennent en plus pour les taux de 20 à 30 % un certain pourcentage de dinitrotoluène, ce qui leur donne une consistance plastique. 6, record 1, French, - dynamite%20plastique
