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 (10) : 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 gélatinées qui en contiennent de 40 à 60 % (...) 5, record 1, French, - dynamite%20g%C3%A9latin%C3%A9e
