picrates and other primers

Phill88 - 23-8-2005 at 13:16

hi
i'm searching again for primers (by searching i've not found much)

usually i took HMTD for ignition but now i'm looking "my" new standart primer
i would tend to picric acid salts ( which would you suggest?)

it should be insensitive (not more than HMTD), storable and not too hard to prepaire

king regards

Phil please be reminded that this is a forum that focusses on the chemistry of things, not the application of energetics.

And your searching skills certainly need improving if you can't find threads relating to primers. Check this or this or this or this, ...
There are threads elsewhere dealing with picrates, styphnates and so on. Azides, you name it.

Please. Make an effort next time and READ AROUND, a lot of the info is at your fingertips!
