OTC sensitizer/fuel?
somewhat randomly got to think about "silver spray paint"
its not silver, of course it isnt.. it seems to consistiently contain aluminium as the metal in powdered form, and of course a sort of plastic
for energetics use this may be quite useful? im wondering what approximate dry solid mass the aluminium is added to the paint, tried hitting up a few
MSDS but could only find info about solvents
not that you cant leave a mix slightly damp and get a nice thermobaric effect out of whatever remains in the charge
it is to be imagined that 5% of aluminium is oftenly used, where still up to 10% more of fuel may be added to reach a better oxygen balance for whats
usually used in the most OTC energetic composition
my bet of particle size would be 325 mesh, slightly waxed, maybe just below 325 mesh even, this seems to be the particle size they prefer for "silver"
paint, which indeed would work if there is enough in the mix
pros would be this stuff doesnt make a lot of mess when mixing up, others than when you need to get it out of the paintcan, if this were to be used, a
damp mix should be handled carefully in regards of premature ignition sources, being dampened with the solvents kept within the paintcan, many being
very volatile
